Oliver was a big part of my life growing up. I loved having sleepovers with Megan and my sister at his house, because that meant chocolate chip pancakes in the morning.
Oliver knew how to make people laugh. (One word-Speedo).
I will forever hear his voice saying “Lovey Doll” (Daw)
Oliver, you are so greatly missed. Thank you for being such a big part of my childhood. I will always remember the way your presence lit up the room.

I remember this one time Oliver was driving Megan & I to youth group. He said there might be a time you find yourself at a party. If your ride ends up drinking never get into the vehicle with them. You call me. Don’t be afraid of getting in trouble, you call me. Doesn’t matter the time, you call. That goes for you too Melissa
That’s just the kind of man, father he was. Always wanting the best for everyone.

Trudy and Howard and families and friends, of Oliver. We never had the privilege to meet your brother Trudy but from what we have heard and read, he was an amazing man. We are deeply sorry for the pain and grief you are left with, but we know that your brother left a testimony of faith and that gives us the hope of eternity with him. Please be sure we have been and will keep praying for the Peace of God to be your portion. Love and Prayers, Dianne and Hughie Penney

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Oliver's passing. Juanita, my heart goes out to you and your family and all of those Oliver left behind. I first met Oliver in 1986 when we were both hired at Syncrude. His was a friendly face during orientation in a new job.
For those who didn't know, Oliver was an amazing goalie. I got to see that during a couple of floor hockey games. I was impressed with how he would stand motionless while the action carried on in front of him and then like a cat, either reach out with his glove or foot and effortlessly catch the ball! And he did that with a bad back at the time.
Just a side note, I tried numerous times making two recipes that he gave me years ago - Swedish Meatballs and Chocolate Covered Peanut Balls.. Never did get them to taste as good as when I tasted them for the first time sitting in the jump seat of Oliver's 270ton hauler when he shared them with me.
You'll be missed buddy!

Juanita, Jonathan, Meghan and families
Dawson and I want to send our heartfelt sympathy for the loss of a wonderful husband, father and grandfather; Oliver.
We remember Oliver as a pleasant, easy going person who always had a bright smile. He seemed to take things in stride add not get too excited. We remember seeing him driving his convertible on warm summer days sitting next to a lovely blonde lady! He smiled like he had the world by the tail! We’ve heard family brag about his great cooking skills and they couldn’t wait for the family days they got to enjoy his meals. It was easy to see that grandkids were #1 in Oliver’s life; even Juanita had to take second place sometimes.
Death will hide Oliver from you in body form but it will not divide you from all the beautiful memories you have each made with him. Let those special memories stay alive in your hearts! Share the memories with your children and friends and let Oliver and his good Christian legacy live on.
We pray for God’s peace and strength to guide you through your grief journey. Rest in God’s arms and let Him carry you.
Dawson and Winona Winsor

To Morris & Louise & the entire Heath family. We were saddened to hear of Oliver’s passing. We only met Oliver a couple of times but if he is anything like you Morris he was a great guy. Way too young to be taken from us. I’m sure he will be missed by family and friends. You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this time. May you have a real sense of God’s presence with you and may His grace, love and peace fill you with the strength you will need during this most difficult time. We have a great promise that we can look forward to of that great reunion day with our loved ones. God Bless.

Dear Juanita and family,
It was always a pleasure to have you and Oliver come home to NL for a visit, bringing Jonathan and Megan as kids and more recently visiting with our kids, who enjoyed the time they spent with their Uncle Oliver. We have shared many meals, card games, and laughs together. We will miss you and remember you always.
Love Terry, Bonnie, Chad and Brady

Juanita, Jonathan, Megan, Annie and all the family, it is with the utmost of sadness that we write this message today.
(From Carl) Oliver was my closest childhood friend. We spent most of our waking hours together as kids and whenever we could we had sleepovers to extend that time. We regularly got in and out of trouble and there’s so many stories that I could share on that topic. I remember that I couldn’t wait to show Oliver my presents on Christmas morning. I have a picture of us displaying our toy guns that we both got one Christmas. Through countless games of “guns”, Cricket, Baseball and hours of exploration in the woods, we became the best of pals.
Our lives took us in different directions as we got older. It was a great pleasure for Angela and I to have attended Oliver and Juanita’s wedding and to know that he found true love and happiness. We are both so very thankful for the time that we spent together last summer during the school reunion. As we reminisce, we appreciate so much that Oliver always took the time to come see us at our home in Robert’s Arm during his summer visits.
To Oliver’s Children and Grandchildren, you truly had a wonderful dad and grandfather who loved you unconditionally and showed compassion and kindness to the people around him. He left a wonderful legacy. We share in your family’s grief and sorrow and wish that we could have just one more conversation. Rest easy Oliver and know that you were loved by many and will be dearly missed.

It is hard to think that Oliver is no longer with us.
I met Oliver in 2003 when my sister started dating Jonathan at the young age of 14. He always accepted me into the family even though I was Ashley’s twin.
Juanita and Oliver took me on their family vacation to Disneyworld in 2007.
He always had a smile on his face and the entertainer.
I want to thank him for taking care of my sister and treating her as his own. I know he meant a lot to her.
I will always remember how he treated my kids, camping at Baptise Lake, and taking the kids out for a drive down tower road.
My heart is with Juanita and the family as they lay him to rest. He will never be forgotten.

Juanita and family,
We offer our deepest condolences and pray that God would comfort you as you walk through this very difficult time.
It was just a few weeks ago that Rick and I were sitting with you and Oliver planning a summer outing for the 4 of us. Oliver could not wait to take us for a ride in his convertible. We will
sincerely miss making those memories with you both.
We send our love and prayers to all of you and we will continue to hold
you up before God.
Love in Christ,

My condolences to Juanita, Annie and the extended Heath family.
I first met Oliver in Mr. Leggo's infamous Grade 7 class in 1976 and he was always a bright light. Funny, witty, but also a unfailing level of kindness and decency which he clearly inherited from his parents - Charlie and Annie. We all got into the usual disagreements and differences that come with any high school but I cannot recall a time when Oliver aka "Ollie" or "Odd-Socks" wasn't in a good mood and keeping the peace and making us all crack up.
I met up with him a number of years later when I was in Fort McMurray for a short-lived work stint. Of course, he had me over for supper and I met Juanita and we laughed and caught up on each others lives and more importantly each others families lives. Who was living where and doing what. If you were a friend of Olivers I think you just knew you could always count on him for anything and he truly was generous of heart.
Other than exchanging birthday wishes on Facebook each year as the clock ticked on, I haven't had a chance to talk to Oliver for many years now but I sure wish I could. I would tell him how great a friend he was to me and so many others and he was truly loved. He truly embodied the ideals of what we should all strive to be be - a better person today than we were yesterday.
I will miss you my friend.

My deepest Condolences to the Heath Family and Oliver’s wife, children and grandchildren. Oliver definitely knew how to light up a room and his smile was infectious. We all have wonderful memories and I am sure a story or two of this beautiful man. I know Oliver and family from our childhood growing years and had the privilege of visiting with him at times on our summer vacations back home on the rock..always a laugh and story, he will be missed by so many . Like so many others , I too will cherish the memories. May our Father in Heaven through His Holy Spirit bring some measure of comfort to you all. I was thinking how Charlie must be holding his boy in heaven now and rejoicing over his love one in the present of Jesus. A reunion for so many gone on before.We have the peace of knowing we will see him again..even in this pain ,there is HOPE. In my thoughts and prayers. Doris (Mitchell) Crooks

Juanita and family, Aunt Annie and all the Heath family,
My heart breaks for you all. Oliver was the sweetest person, he always reminded me of my precious brother Aubrey. They didn't look alike but just the sweetness of the two. It is so hard to belive they are both gone. Oliver is now reunited with Uncle Charlie and so many more family that left us way to early. We are praying for God's strength and courage as you face the days ahead. God Bless you all. Xx

Juanita and family,
We are so shocked and saddened to hear of Oliver’s passing, he truly was a wonderful person and have made an impact on all the lives that had the privilege of knowing him. He is a light in this world that is gone way too soon. We will miss seeing him around, out enjoying those beautiful summer days when we would see you and him out for those drives in his treasured car that he was so proud of. There is nothing one can say that will ease your pain and heartbreak, but know that you and your family are in our thoughts and you have that hope of reuniting with him again someday. He is just gone home ahead and he will always be with you in your hearts forever. Hold dear to your precious memories and lean on each other for comfort in the days ahead.

I’m sure there will be quite a few stories about the legendary trans am but I’ll never forget when I came to fort mcmurray for a visit a good few years ago now he came over to grandmudder and grandfadders (murt and Judy’s) and asked me and my sister if we wanted to go for a ride knowing how much I loved cars and of course we went on and I’d always ask him to floor it from the lights and no sir would he go past the speed limit. He said it’s fun to do it as long as you’re obeying the law. We went on and had Tim’s and continued driving around as he was trying his best to be wise and help me out for the future but I was distracted listening to both him and the trans am. I’ll cherish our memories forever and I truly hope you’re cursing the mountains of heaven, i love you and may you rest in peace uncle Oliver. Love Tye❤️

Larry and I express our condolences to Juanita, Jonathan and Ashley, Sweet Brinley, Megan and Zac, Treyon and Beautiful Valley.
Oliver was a one of kind father in-law to our daughter Ashley and a special grampy to our Sweet Brinley.
Ashley was blessed and highly favoured by God when she married into the Heath family. From a mother’s point of view, I will always be thankful to Oliver and Juanita for loving my daughter and cherishing her as one of their own.
Oliver always reminded me that Ashley was strong and courageous, and she wasn’t afraid to try anything especially if it was going to advance her skills in life.
Oliver has now entered glory and I’m sure he is having a time for this I am so happy. However, my thoughts go out to his beautiful wife of 40 years. I pray that God holds her close, and he heals her heart. I pray that she finds comfort in his arms tonight and in the days ahead.
