It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Barry Johnson. Barry passed away peacefully at The Cascade Hospice on May 15, 2023, at the age of 74 after a short and courageous battle with Advanced Renal Cancer.

Barry was born on January 24th, 1949 in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. He had an illustrious 36-year career in the Funeral industry, having spent his last 25 working years at Henderson’s Funeral Home in Chilliwack.

After retiring in 2005, Barry was not ready to leave the workforce completely. By combing his passions for gardening and horticulture, Barry started his own lucrative lawncare business. His customers were always pleased by his services and friendly demeanour. Barry could be seen driving around town in his white truck and trailer, always full of life, friendly and talkative. Sadly his time doing the things he loved were abruptly interrupted with his diagnosis of advanced renal cancer in March 2023.

Those who were fortunate enough to know Barry, knew he was the most loving and dedicated husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, colleague and friend. He touched the lives of so many people. He loved fiercely and deeply, and we take comfort in knowing that Barry is now at peace. He will truly be missed and will never, ever, be forgotten.
