It is with profound sadness that the family announce the passing of Matthew Sonny Norberg on September 8, 2026.

Matthew (Matty) leaves to mourn his brother Hayden Norberg, mother Anna Fisher, father Aaron Norberg, step-dad Grant Dakus, step-mom Kristi Norberg, and sister Piper Norberg, step siblings Juliya (Josiah) Wickens, Cole (Kayla) Dakus, Troy (Kassie) Dakus, grandparents Bill Fisher and Colleen Fisher, Merja Fisher and Rick Naud, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, as well as so many amazing friends who were like family. Matthew is predeceased by his grandfather Wayne Norberg, grandparents Holly and David Kendell and great-grandfather Arnold (Sonny) Norberg.

Matty was born in Prince George on January 15, 2005 to Anna Fisher and Aaron Norberg. He graduated from College Heights Secondary School in June 2023. Following high school Matty joined the BC Wildfire Service where he committed himself for three seasons to fighting fires and saving the precious land that he loved so much. Always looking for the next adventure, this summer Matty was working in the Yukon where he was prospecting for gold.

While Matty’s life was short, it was well lived. He loved being in nature, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling and snowboarding but most of all breaking out in original dances, making funny faces, and making people laugh. Matty had a wonderful heart and loved his family with every piece of it. He shared a profound and inseparable bond with his brother Hayden and were each other’s fiercest protectors and truest friends.

One of Matty’s early passions was football. He played in the Prince George Minor Football Association from 2014 until high school where he played for the College Heights Cougars. The friendships that he formed with his teammates and coaching staff over the years were more than friendships. The bonds he formed on the gridiron grew into a lifelong brotherhood. He approached those friendships the same way he played the game – with unwavering loyalty and a full heart.

Matty will always be remembered for his bright blue eyes, beautiful smile, his wonderful sense of humor, his free and loving spirit, and his love of life. He brought immeasurable joy to all who were blessed to know him, and his memory will forever remain in their hearts. He will be missed beyond words.

A celebration of life to honor and celebrate Matthew’s spirit and love will be held on November 1, 2026 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at the Blackburn Community Hall, 2451 Blackburn Rd. S.

My sweet Matty, I will carry you with me everywhere. I’ll see you in every sunset and the brightest star in the sky, I’ll feel you in every warm breeze and in the crisp winter air. Until we’re together again, sweet dreams my angel. I am forever grateful to be your Momma xoxo

May 22, 1923 – September 5, 2026

With sadness, the family of Della Ruth Eisbrenner (née Brownscombe) announce that she passed away peacefully at home at the age of 103, surrounded by her loving children.

Ruth was born in Rapid City, Manitoba, on May 22, 1923. At the age of eight she moved with her family to their Hixon homestead. In 1943 she married her beloved husband John at St. Mark's church in Woodpecker.

She was predeceased by John, in 1972. Following his passing, Ruth courageously returned to college to ensure she could independently support her young family. She went on to work for NR Motors while remaining entirely dedicated to raising her children.

Her remarkable service included: The Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary: Serving as president and holding numerous other leadership roles for over 60 years. Senior's Housing Advocacy: Serving as president and director of the Prince George Senior Citizens Home Society. She sat on a provincial advisory board that was instrumental in developing senior's housing projects, including Rainbow Lodge, Parkside Intermediate Care, and Laurier Manor. Community Wellness: Playing a key role in bringing the Lifeline medical alert service to northern British Columbia.

Despite her busy schedule, Ruth always found time for the things she loved. She was an avid gardener who filled her home with flowers, and she stayed active through regular walking and cross-country skiing.

In her retirement, she cherished spending time with her grandchildren weekends at Bobtail Lake, socializing with friends, and hosting family celebrations.

Truly the matriarch of her family, Ruth will be greatly missed by her children: Rosemary (and her late husband, Dale), Judy (Terry), Donald (Linda), Bill (Sue), and Anita (Rick). She also leaves behind a proud legacy of 11 grandchildren (Kari, Jason, Karla, Tyler, Bree, Jenna, William, Maylee, Jonathan, Juliana, and Jayden),14 great-grandchildren and her special dog Daisy Mae.

A celebration of Ruth’s life will be held on October 10th from 1:00PM to 3:00 PM at Cedars Christian School (Prince George, BC).

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Canadian Red Cross.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt, special thanks to "Ruth's Crew" of exceptional caregivers for their dedicated and compassionate care over the past four years.

A green burial is a gentle, purposeful path that returns us directly to the cycles of nature.

By using simple, biodegradable materials, the body safely rejoins the earth to nourish the soil beneath our feet. Over time, our bodies help our earth to create and sustain new life.

It is a beautiful way to ensure our last chapter is one of stewardship, leaving behind a living, breathing legacy that protects the planet for generations to come. 🌳

Debbora Lynn Unterhofer
August 10, 1955 – August 6, 2026

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Debbora Unterhofer, a beloved mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, partner, and friend.

Debbora had a warmth and openness that drew people to her. She was generous, compassionate, sincere, and genuinely interested in others. She loved good conversation, meeting new people, sharing stories, and forming connections wherever life took her.

Creativity was woven throughout Debbora’s life. She found joy in watercolour painting, drawing, crafts, tending to her plants, and especially sunflowers and sunsets. She loved travelling and remained curious, optimistic, fiercely independent, and willing to follow her own path.

A great source of love and companionship in Debbora’s life was her longtime partner, Tom Mills, who predeceased her. Together they shared adventures, a love of collecting rocks, and many simple experiences that became some of her most treasured memories.

Debbora also had a wonderfully unconventional side. She embraced humour, individuality, and being a little different. For a time, she owned and operated a daycare in Burns Lake, where her caring nature and natural warmth with people found a fitting home.

She is lovingly remembered by her sons, Brad (Jessica) and Adam (Tamara); her grandchildren, Taylor and Nash; her mother, Margaret
McLachlan; her sister, Lorna Quaw; her brothers, Robin and Wade McLachlan; and her extended family and friends. She was predeceased by her father, Keith McLachlan, and her longtime partner, Tom Mills.

Debbora will be remembered for the kindness she gave freely, the creativity she brought into the world, and the unmistakable way she made life a little more colourful simply by being herself.

In keeping with Debbora’s wishes, no formal funeral service will be held.

Those wishing to honour her memory may make a donation to The Kidney Foundation of Canada.

Robert Ejack
February 11, 1943 to August 1, 2026

Robert Ejack of Prince George, BC passed away peacefully on August 1, 2026 at the age of 83, surrounded by his loving wife Laura, and their devoted daughter Susan.

He was predeceased by his beloved daughter Lisa whom he always carried in his heart and his parents Peter and Pauline Ejack.

Bob will be forever loved and missed by his wife Laura of 63 years, daughter Susan (George) Danilec, grandsons Max, Sam, Ben, Tom and Jaxon; granddaughter Paige; his sisters Gail (John) Engbrecht, Bev (Richard) Larmand and Cindy Snaychuck as well as numerous nieces and nephews, friends, and the many lives he touched along the way.

Bob was a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather. He took pride in his daughters and grandchildren and was always there to encourage them, offer words of wisdom and create many memories. Grandpa was their #1 fan.

For 45 years, Bob was a dedicated member of the Nechako Lodge No. 86 of the Masonic Society. He lived the principles of brotherhood, charity, honesty and service, not only in word but by the way he treated others. He received the Masonic Medal of Merit, a recognition that reflected a lifetime of dedication and service to others.

Bob loved the game of hockey. He was an alumni of the Prince George Spruce Kings hockey organization, a connection that reflected in his deep ties to the community.

Every spring he looked forward to polishing his Harley-Davidson motorbike and going for a ride. He treasured the freedom and the friendships it gave him. Being a part of the Toy Ride was an important occasion where his passion for riding was matched by being able to give back to the Salvation Army for children.

Our family would like to extend our gratitude to Dr. Bashir, Drs McGhee, Panasar, and Saleem for their kindness and support. A heartfelt thank you to the Hospice House, for their gentle care, compassionate hearts, and unwavering care to our family. You all were a true blessing.

Bob lived life to the fullest extent. His legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him. He will be forever remembered and deeply missed. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Prince George Hospice House would be greatly appreciated.
