We are gathering today to mourn the loss of Vancouver Police Sergeant Craig Reynolds, whose life was cut far too short by a devastating illness. Our hearts are with his family, friends, and loved ones, as well as the many colleagues who had the privilege of serving alongside him. His passing is a profound loss to all who knew him. Craig dedicated his life to serving others. During his nearly 20-year career with the Vancouver Police Department, he worked in Patrol, General Investigation, Robbery, Assault & Arson, Youth Services, Community Policing, and as the Business Liaison. Most recently, he served with the Retail Crime Task Force, where his hard work and vision made a meaningful impact on violent retail crime and community safety. Craig was the kind of leader and colleague everyone hoped to work with. He genuinely cared about the people around him, always making time to support, mentor, and encourage others. He was deeply committed to his profession and to the community he served, but above all else, he was devoted to his family, who were always his greatest priority. Craig leaves behind a lasting legacy of service, compassion, and integrity. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all whose lives he touched.

Thanks to @GlobalBC @jarmstrongbc for sharing my story. I hope to raise awareness for this devastating disease that destroys the ability to move, talk and breathe. Through education and funding I hope one day no one will have to hear “you have ALS”. globalnews.ca/video/11139568…
