It is with deep sorrow that we remember Will Stanhope of Squamish, whose passing following a climbing accident has left family, friends, and the wider community mourning a profound loss.
Will was known for his deep passion for climbing and the outdoors. The mountains were more than a pursuit—they were part of who he was. He approached every climb with focus, respect, and a love for adventure that inspired those around him.
Beyond his passion, Will will be remembered for his character. He was kind, driven, and genuine—someone who built strong connections and left a lasting impression on everyone he met. His presence brought encouragement and positivity, and he had a way of uplifting others simply by being himself.
To his family and loved ones, Will was deeply cherished. His passing leaves an immeasurable void, and the grief is shared by all who knew and loved him. The memories they hold will remain a lasting source of comfort and strength.
Friends and fellow climbers remember him not only for his skill but also for his spirit—the encouragement he offered, the friendships he built, and the passion he shared so freely.
As loved ones come together to mourn, they also celebrate a life lived with purpose, adventure, and meaning.
Will Stanhope will be forever loved, deeply missed, and always remembered.
May he rest in peace.
