Pelletier, who was an actor and transport department employee on the network\u2019s When Calls the Heart, passed away unexpectedly on April 11 while living alone at home in Langley, British Columbia, according to his obituary. It is unknown what caused his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the obituary, \u201cHis generosity and extraordinary work ethic touched many lives.\u201d He was always willing to help out when needed, and most of the time, before anyone asked him to. He was gregarious, enjoyed meeting new people, and greeted them with a big smile and a firm handshake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following people survive Pelletier: his mother, Yvonne Langevin; his stepbrothers, Gordon and Brian Langevin; his stepsister, Teri Van-Ryssel; his godmother, Lee DeGoede; his nephew, Andrei; his brothers, Jeramie and Jason; his daughter, Myhrsades Jones; and his father, Perry Phillips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Erin Krakow plays Elizabeth Thatcher, a young educator from a wealthy family who moves from the big city to teach in a small coal mining town in the 1920s, in the 2014 film When Calls the Heart. Pelletier, who frequently portrayed a cab driver on the show, described his \u201cwork-family\u201d as his \u201csecond greatest love\u201d in his obituary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martin Cummins, Pelletier\u2019s costar who plays Henry Gowen in the popular series, honored Pelletier on Instagram earlier this month with a heartfelt post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI just got back from riding the bike that Gord and Nate assembled for me and the girls. In the woods close to the old cabin, I\u2019m enjoying some shade in Mexico under the awning Nate helped me figure out. Alongside a number of images of his close friend, he captioned the post, saying, \u201cI have spent more hours at work sitting in the blue room, in silence or in conversation with Gord and Nate than I have standing on tape with the camera rolling.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve always thought of Gord as a father figure, and Nate and I were his boys, running around town, hanging out in the woods, and having shit conversations.\u201d Life is ever-changing. Nothing is ever the same. Without Nathaniel Pelletier, the Valley won\u2019t be the same. It was a privilege for me to call him a friend because he was a kind person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cast and crew were also in mourning for Pelletier, according to the official When Calls the Heart Instagram page. Production manager Mike Magnusson described the actor as a \u201ctrue Unicorn\u201d who smashed \u201cevery 14 hour day with a wide smile & endless cheer for all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
