Obituary
Ford was born on February 27, 1946, the youngest son of Henry and Edna Heath. He spent his childhood along the coast of Robert’s Arm, enjoying fishing with his father and brothers, learning from his father’s talent for boatbuilding, and helping at the Pentecostal church as a young Sunday School teacher.
He married the love of his life, Joy Rice, on February 27, 1964. Together, they shared 61 years of love and partnership. They were blessed with four children, seven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
From a young age, Ford worked hard as a miner and continued well past retirement age as an instructor. When Joy received her cancer diagnosis, he stepped away from work to care for and support her. He always worked hard to provide for those he loved, but whenever he wasn’t working, he could be found building something in his garage, making improvements to his wharf, taking friends or family out for a boat ride, or adding to his woodpile. In many ways, the passions Ford developed in his youth only deepened in his later years.
Only the pain caused by his cancer diagnosis could slow him down. Though he often wished for one more day in the woods or on the water, he spent his time caring for his beloved wife and faithfully reading his Bible each evening. He was peacefully released to rest free from pain to his heavenly home on April 7, 2025 surrounded by loved ones.
He is predeceased by his parents, Henry and Edna Heath; brothers Wilbert, Ross, and Charlie; and sisters Melvina, Grace, Rowena, Betty, and Althea.
He leaves to mourn his beloved wife, Joy Heath; son Bradley Heath; daughters Roxanne (Garland) Fowlow, Venessa Winsor, and Crystal-Lynn (Ryan) Card; and grandchildren Christopher (Stacey) Fowlow, Candace Fowlow, Samantha Winsor, Lucas Heath, Joel Heath, Benjamin Card, and Alexander Card. He is also lovingly remembered by his brother Bert Heath and sister Shirley Roberts, along with numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and many other family members and friends who showed him unwavering love and respect in his final years and months.
The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all those who so generously gave of their time and support over the past few years.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Ford’s memory to The Kidney Foundation of Canada (kidney.ca/) in support of individuals like his Great Granddaughter (Braelyn Fowlow) who fight brave battles against kidney disease.
