Farfan

Gareth Farfan died peacefully on June 22, 2026, at Eagle Ridge Hospital, Port Moody, BC after a brief and unexpected battle with cancer. He is survived by his wife Amanda Gleave, his daughter Lily, his siblings Frank, James, Leslie, Penelope, Harry (predeceased), and Matthew.

We lost a true legend. His passion for anything creative, his aspiration for adventure and trying new things, his unique ability to elevate any situation with humour, to bring out the inner child in every person he met, and his unconditional love for the people he adored, he will never be forgotten.

“Gareth the Great” will be missed by more people than he could have ever imagined.

The family will hold a Celebration of Life in his memory at a date to be determined.
