Alvin Eric Thorne, son, husband, father, fisherman, and lifelong resident of Thornlea, passed tragically and unexpectedly away on August 15, 2022 at the age of 57. Alvin is survived by his wife, Christine, daughters Amber-Lynn and Taylor, his brothers Henry (Renee) and Jim (Shelley), sister Genevieve (Wayne), and parents Eric and Phoebe. He is predeceased by his son, Tyler, with whom he is reunited in heavenly rest. Alvin was born in Markland on May 29, 1965. He learned to fish at an early age from his father, Eric, and the foundation of a lifelong passion for the fishery was laid. Alvin’s close attention to detail and constant hard work established him as a respected figure in the industry and local community. Alvin was a member of the Canadian Coast Guard for 30 years. Those who knew Alvin knew that every bit of his hard work – every scar, every ache, and every day spent at sea, was undertaken for the benefit, well-being and love of his family. Of all he accomplished during his life, nothing outshone the pride he felt for his girls. For his wife, Christine, and daughters Amber-Lynn and Taylor, there was no effort that Alvin was unwilling to make, and no hardship he was unwilling to endure. Alvin is remembered for his love of a laugh, and was known for his quick wit and characteristic dry sense of humor. Go Leaf’s go. In lieu of flowers the family has requested donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. A celebration of Alvin’s life will be held at Faith United Church in Thornlea at 2:00 pm on Thursday, August 18th, 2022. Visitation will be open for family from 2:00-4:00 pm and to the public 5:00-8:00 pm on Wednesday, August 17th, 2022.
