Garnett Munroe

We celebrate the life of Garnett Munroe, who passed on April 10th, 2026.

Garnett spent his career with BC Hydro, traveling throughout the province commissioning substations.  He was an adventurous spirit, sailing the coast and gulf islands for 20 years with the Gibson's Yacht Club and later maintaining and driving his classic Porsche. He loved to travel, especially to Europe on bike trips, train rides and riverboat cruises. He loved fishing, hunting and time outdoors.

He was a man who turned his dreams into action, including building an oceanfront house for his family to enjoy. He spent many hours watching the tides and sea life from his window warmed by fulfillment and accomplishment.  His drive and work ethic rubbed off on everyone around him, and he was fortunate enough to see his family's accomplishments and his part of them.

Garnett celebrated his birthday every year with family and friends on the ski hill. He was happiest when sharing good food and drinks with family and those close to him.

He is remembered by his loving and dedicated wife Katie, sons Michael and Ross (Cassandra), Martin (Susan), and Shawn; grandchildren Gabrielle, Duncan, Jordyn, Kaylee; Aiden, Alena; by sister in-law Carol Munroe, nephew Warren, nieces Nicole and Donna-Rae (Andy), great nephews Dominic, Cameron, Braden, and great-niece Harper; by brothers in-law Gary,(Linda), Ric (Kathryn), Roy (Marnie), sister in-law Judith, and nieces and nephews.  He was preceded in death by niece Dannella Munroe, brother Dan and brother in-law Kelly.

Our family would like to thank all the health care professionals who cared for Garnett over the past several years.

Arrangements will be made at a later date.
