October 18, 1953 - March 14, 2025
In Loving Memory ~
Earle William Couper was born October 8, 1953 in Montreal, Quebec.
Earle, also known as "Coup", passed away peacefully Friday, March 14, 2025 in Nanaimo B.C.
Predeceased by his parents Henry and Florence, Earle is survived by his sister Marilyn (Larry) Schroeder and brother Geoffrey (Michelle) Couper, children Jerilyn and Evan (Melissa), and grandchildren Fable Grayson and Ellie.
Earle had a passion for sports and excelled in a journalism career with several newspapers spanning 41 years and retired as the Sports Editor and Photographer for the Comox Valley Record in 2017. He made friends easily with his dry humour and quick wit, both of which seemed to be limitless. His dedication to his career made everlasting connections with those involved in the sports community.
Earle also enjoyed listening to The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, and cheering on his beloved Boston Bruins.
Special thanks to Gerry and Penny Fairbrother for all their help while Earle was hospitalized. Thank you to Earle's cousin Ann Harvey for being with family on Earle's last day.
