'Friends Not Forgotten'
Obituary

John Garnham passed away and found his peace on August 20, 2011 surrounded by his loved ones. John leaves behind his loving wife Kay, his three children Roy (Kristen), Sarah (Bill), Tyler (Megan), Kay’s daughter Maki, and five grandchildren, Kylan, Ruby, Keaton, Dylan and Halen.

Born on October 4, 1939 in Worthing, England, John moved to Canada as a teenager. He proudly joined the RCMP and served for 27 years beginning in the prairies during the 'wild' days of justice, then in Ottawa, then finally in Vancouver, BC.

John retired from the RCMP in 1987 and spent another 10 years serving in the the federal government.

John moved his family to Ladner in 1974 and has thoroughly enjoyed all that the west coast has to offer. He instilled in his kids a love of nature, water, and buying secondhand.

John was a magnet to good people, always surrounded by great friends.a His interests widely varied from birds to binoculars to boats to garage sales. John had an uncanny ability to fix anything and passed this down to his kids. He and Kay also took many trips in their camper and loved to go sea kayaking together. John always felt great satisfaction in sharing his love of the outdoors with the ones he loved.
