1938 – 2016

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of John Laughlin (Bud) Whitfield on August 14, 2016 at 78 years of age.
Bud is survived by his wife of 40 years Kathy. Children John, Jason, Carlea, and Christina (Elliott) and his grandchildren Ella, Landon and Easton
Bud grew up on a dairy farm in Bellville, Ontario, where he was the youngest of 6 children. He came out west to Vancouver and was there that he met the love of his life Kathy. Bud was passionate about nature and especially hiking. He instilled his love for the outdoors in children by taking them on numerous hiking and camping trips. One place he fell in love with was Stein Valley.
One of buds greatest joys later in his life were his grandchildren, he loved watching his “babies” grow and learn new things, they could do no wrong in his eyes. There will be no formal service by his request.
You are at peace now Dad
“And I think to myself, what a wonderful world”
