I had the privilege of working with Orvie at MEDA. Orvie had a special presence that left you feeling brighter and more positive after having spoken to him. He had a wonderful way of putting everyone at ease, sprinkling jokes throughout our discussions, and always approaching interactions with kindness, curiousity and a great deal of humility. He was deeply dedicated to making an impact and leading with integrity. I will cherish these qualities that Orvie embodied on a daily basis and seek to reflect them in my own actions. I would like to extend my deepest condolences to Orvie’s family, friends and colleagues. May you find space for reflection, connection and peace.

Hearing about Orvie really knocked the wind out of me. I can't imagine your sense of loss. What an incredible guy, who will be deeply missed. I am praying for you, praying, praying. I don't understand these things. But my faith is not as strong as Orvie's. He got promoted to glory early, and now leaves a large hole where he made such an impact and leaves a lasting legacy from his time here. The road ahead will not be easy, but he left a beautiful example and inspiration to carry on, trusting God faithfully along the unknown journey, until Jesus returns to wipe away all our tears. Until that day, I know that Jesus weeps with you, and I pray that His Spirit will surround you with comfort and strength beyond understanding. The celebration service was beautiful, and you all did an amazing job to share special memories and a musical tribute together. Wow. I'm sure Orvie is extremely proud and honoured. I feel privileged to have known him and inspired to see the remarkable impact of his life. Thank-you Orvie.

Dear Heather - My thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family during this incredibly tough time. I am so grateful for the time I got to work with Orvie on the finance team at MEDA. He was an incredible leader and had a wonderful gift of bringing our team closer together even during COVID. Orvie prioritized relationships with everyone he worked with. When we went to work from home last year, he organized weekly games for our finance team to make sure we stayed connected while apart. He would also lead all of our meetings with a fun ice breaker like “What’s your favourite flower” or “Where’s your favourite place to go hiking”. He had a way of making us all feel included and like a valued member of the team. He was the kind of leader that you could always count on to have your back. We will really miss him at MEDA but will be a better group because of his leadership.

I can't appreciate the grief that you all find yourselves facing in the past days and those to come. I don't consider myself a very religious person however I can't help but feeling that the cold, darkness and rain of the past few days has represented the grief we have felt personally and for all of you and that the sun of today is Orvie's light reminding us he is still here to comfort us as one last selfless act.

I would like to offer my sincere and deep condolences to you Heather, Jaron, Danya and Karis. I had the great privilege to have worked with Orvie at Manulife and more closely at Sun Life. It was such an honour to get to know him. I will remember his kindness, authenticity and caring approach to leadership. He demonstrated a passion for our business and the impact we make on the quality of people's lives through the support we provide through disability management. Underpinning that passion was his keen desire to ensure that we meaningfully supported, developed and cared for our staff, his people, his team. Orvie has left a deep impression on many colleagues who over the past couple weeks have shared their experience working with him.
I wish you peace and comfort in your memories of your husband and father and in the example he set for so many of us. We will miss Orvie.
With great respect and warmth,

My deepest condolences to the Bowman family. I was so saddened to hear about Orvie. I was a colleague of Orvie's at Sun Life, in Group Disability. His office was next to mine and we were part of the Disability Leadership team together. I will remember Orvie as an extremely kind and gentle man, with a beautiful heart. He was caring, compassionate and a joy to work with. His gentle nature came across every day in his work and the relationships he built. I am thankful for having worked closely with Orvie, even for a short time. To Heather, Jaron, Danya and Karis - may the memories you share together help you through this difficult time. Rest in Peace Orvie. You will be missed.

My heart is so saddened at the passing of Orvie and the big hole that it leaves in so many people's lives. He was truly a godly man, husband and father. I had the pleasure of having Orvie and Heather as the leaders of my small life group at Woodside and I really appreciated his leadership and humour, as well as his real interest in people. He will be deeply missed. I pray for Heather, Jaron, Danya and Karis as they begin a new chapter in their lives without their loving, caring and super husband and father. May God richly bless you and strengthen you, comfort you and enrich your lives in many ways.

I’m still so shocked and saddened to hear Orvie is no longer with us. I feel tremendously blessed to have learned from his compassionate, kind and sensible nature when working with him over the years. Orvie had a moral compass and value system I admire and strive to live up to in myself, not to mention his sense of humour. I wanted to share a few photos that depict the comradery he created with his Sun Life team. My deepest sympathies to Orvie’s family and friends. May the comfort of his memory and prayer help you today and in the tough days ahead.

Orvie examplified integrity, kindness, strength of character, and generosity of spirit. I’m shocked and saddened to learn about his tragedic passing. Orvie was true to his word and his beliefs. He would generously spent his time and energy helping others while seeking nothing in return. When I last spoke with him, his thoughts were of his family and the joy and adventures they have ahead of them. Business has lost a compassionate and intelligent leader. His friends and family have lost so much more. My heartfelt and deepest condolences to his family and close friends.

I was so saddened to hear about Orvie. While our paths never crossed directly at both Sun and Manulife, I was delighted to hear we would be working together at Allianz. His door was always open to me to ask any question and he made me feel welcomed and at home instantly when I arrived. His intellect, warmth, empathy, integrity and humour will always be remembered. Simply put, the world would be a better place if there were more people like Orvie. He will be missed. My thoughts are with his whole family during this challenging time.

We knew from our very first meeting with Orvie that he was the right person for the CFIO role at MEDA. That initial instinct was only deepened and affirmed over the past 14 months as Orvie came on board and began to embrace our vision and our work. He combined a solid technical skill set with extensive experience, a passion for our mission of creating business solutions to poverty and a depth of character and personality that fit our culture perfectly.
Foremost Orvie was kind, intelligent, very hard working, high integrity, humble and had a great sense of humour. He brought a considerable skill set and experience that extended well beyond investment and finance. I don’t think it is possible to overstate the debt that MEDA owes him for his work in bringing a framework to operationalize our strategic plan. He worked tirelessly to lead the Executive Leadership Team on a journey to develop a shared understanding of our key priorities and translate that to key initiatives and workstreams. This rigor and discipline will be critical to our future success and will be a lasting legacy that will guide us in the years to come. We will be better for his leadership - I will be better for having known him, for having been able to work with him.
The full extent of Orvie’s activity and involvement became apparent as the ELT met to review his projects and responsibilities – wow, he leaves big shoes to fill.
Transcending all this is Orvie’s faith, an integral part of who he was – he had a hope – both for this world and this life, and for the next. That hope is grounded in Jesus Christ and his example, his sacrifice. I’m confident that Orvie has moved on to be with his Lord and Savior. I draw comfort from his faith and I pray that you will be comforted in your loss. May we all experience God's grace and peace.

No words can express the sorrow and sadness for the unexpected passing of Orvie. I feel privileged to work closely with Orvie and had him as my manager when we both worked in Group Retirement Services division at Sun Life. Orvie demonstrated his leadership with distinct kindness, compassion, wisdom, gentleness, dedication and integrity. I cherished very much Orvie’s sharing of knowledge, family pictures/activities, sense of humor and our shared faith. Orvie, you will be remembered in our hearts!

I worked with Orvie as part of the Executive Team at Allianz - after many of our long days, we would catch up on the important stuff - family and life. Given that we both lived in the little town of Elmira, I'd often say "come on Orvie, I'll race you home"...to which he would always say with a grin "you'll win again, I like to go slowly". Orvie was a kind, gentle, smart, thoughtful man full of integrity. He led by example, and we all learned from Orvie. My most sincere condolences go out to his young family. He will be deeply missed by so many who have been blessed to know him. Rest In Peace, friend.

I had the pleasure of working for Orvie in Group Retirement Services at Sun Life for just over a year from 2014 to 2015. Many wonderful memories of impromptu conversations about friends and family, fresh bakery treats from Elmira on Fridays when he was in Waterloo, his engaging smile, warm hellos, and so much more.

My sincere condolences to the Bowman Family. I worked with Orvie as a part of Sun Life's Disability organization. I will always remember him as a truly kind person. In the years when I reported to him, I was fortunate enough to experience a safe space, mentorship and true collaboration. Orvie was a supportive leader, as invested in an employee's career as they were, always willing to provide advice and guidance on any issue. I have fond memories of traveling with him to Montreal and walking to the evening functions as it "was beautiful outside for a walk to Old Montreal" or watching the Blue Jays game together with our leader group in Toronto. Later, as he moved on to the Finance team, I appreciated his willingness to catch up over lunch on the waterfront when we both were at One York for the day. Orvie never failed to greet you with a genuine smile and happiness and loved to speak of his family adventures. You could recognize the pure joy that he received from his home life during those moments. We will miss him dearly.

My deepest condolences to your entire family. I worked with Orvie at Sun life and sat right beside him for over two years. Every morning he came in the office with a sincere "good morning" to everyone he saw. He always had a kind smile and took the time to listen and talk. The funniest moment was when I saw him sneaking a sip of maple syrup in his office for a mid afternoon treat, he looked at me laughing and he just smiled and said "yum"
Orvie's presence will always be remembered and never forgotten. Rest in Peace Orvie

My deepest condolences to Heather, Jaron, Danya and Karis on the loss of this special man. I worked closely with Orvie for about two years in Group Retirement Services at Sun Life. I have great memories of this very smart and thoughtful colleague with a wonderful sense of humour and a kindness that went right to the core of his being. He approached his work life with the highest integrity, combining patience and a focus on people development with a quiet competitiveness and strong business acumen. I can still picture him sharing videos on his phone of his children performing in their piano concerts....the look of pride and sheer joy on his face said it all. I am grateful I had the opportunity to know him and am forever changed for the better by that experience. Sending love and strength to all of his family.

He spoke so highly of his wife and children during our chats. I can’t imagine the void his loss leaves. My sincere condolences.

I worked closely with Orvie when we were both in Group Retirement Services at Sun Life. Orvie was smart, hard working, funny, great listener, and one of the kindest person I have ever known. He was always calm and had the time to anyone regardless of how busy he was and the pressure that he was in. Orvie treated everyone equally. By treat, also literally; I wasn't part of his team and he offered me the delicious peanut butter balls he brought to work when he joined the company (and again when he left). Here are some memory of Orvie from one of the event in 2015; I think the one picture of Orvie from the side really captures him. So long Orvie. God loves you more than we do. My deepest condolences to Heather, Jaron, Danya and Karis.

I remember standing on the dock at Wildwood with Orvie while he watched one of his daughters trying to muster up the courage to jump off the tower diving board for the first time. He seemed as much 'in the moment' as she was as he encouraged her on, yet never pressuring her. I always loved his soft, authentic heart and his wisdom shared in quiet ways. He will be missed so much by many different hearts! Much love and prayers go out to you, his dear family.
