Dr. Tim Hollick-Kenyon Sr. died peacefully on November 8, 2019. Tim’s wife, Ina (Ritchie) Hollick-Kenyon (MSW), predeceased him in 2014. He is survived by three children and four grandchildren. 

Tim combined work and volunteer experiences to create a career in social work and educational organizations spanning four decades. He held executive and senior posts with non-profit organizations, including the UBC Alumni Association, the Children’s Aid Society of Vancouver, and Capilano College (now University). Tim lived out his belief in lifelong learning by completing a PhD in higher education at the University of Oregon in 1979. 

Tim was many things to many people. With his wife and kids in tow, he built a log cabin in the Chilcotin and loved spending time there. Just last year, Tim voyaged to the Antarctic to add to his bird-sighting list and to visit the area where his father flew and navigated for explorer Lincoln Ellsworth. He was active in scouting, volunteered with many organizations, and offered one-on-one support to many individuals throughout his life.
