GoFundMe established after Nanaimo bus driver, soccer dad, dies in Ghana
A fundraiser is supporting his wife and three children after the Regional District of Nanaimo bus driver died unexpectedly, his family said.
Regional District of Nanaimo bus driver Peter Dadzie died unexpectedly in Ghana, prompting his family to launch a GoFundMe supporting his wife Sam and three children: Marshall, Maxwell, and Millie-Mai.
Dadzie, a former bus driver in the United Kingdom for over 20 years, moved to Nanaimo in 2018 and received Canadian citizenship last August, becoming a beloved transit operator.
Daughter Millie-Mai, speaking from Australia, remembered his great sense of humor, while Nanaimo United technical lead Daragh Fitzgerald said Peter was "a great supporter of the club" with pride in his sons.
The family is "taking time to process everything," Millie-Mai said, with a celebration of life likely taking place in January as loved ones navigate the loss with community support.
Loved ones aim to honor him "in a way that truly reflects the person he was," continuing to share memories of his pride in family and passengers and his love for the job.
