It is with much sadness that the family of Kenneth Ian McDonald (Ken) announces his peaceful passing August 23rd, 2020 at age 80 in Vancouver, BC.
Missing his gentle nature, easy intelligence, and quiet humour are his loving wife of 52 years, Glenys McDonald, son Malcolm (Lesley), grandkids Emily and Angus, his McDonald siblings Brian (Lynn), Alec (Marg), Graeme (Katerina) and Heather and his many Kiwi relatives.
He is fondly remembered for his love of a well-planned (or spontaneous) garden – and was an active member of the Master Gardeners Association and Dunbar Garden Club for many years. His own garden was a life-long project, and he was rarely happier than when puttering around pulling up a weed or planting something new.
He had a passion for hiking and would spend hours finding and photographing the perfect larch tree just turned autumn gold, alpine meadows full of wildflowers, and the many countless creatures therein.
The family will hold a private memorial; and ask that in lieu of flowers, any donations be made to the Master Gardeners Association of BC in his name.
