Parcourez la nécrologie de Garth Ross
Derry 2025 résidant dans la province Ontario pour le détail des funérailles
The hands that gave so much have come to rest. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Garth Derry, surrounded by family, following a courageous battle with chronic illness.
Most people knew him as Breadman Garth, the man behind the best damn bread in town. But to us he was more than that. He was a loving husband to Pam. He was a proud Dad to Brittney (Rory), Kandas, Alexas, Megan, Chelsea (Kevin), Keegan, Bella (Cody), Cecilia (Shaq). He was a caring brother to Judi (Randy), Kathy (Dave), and Scott. He was also a devoted « gpa » to his 10 grandchildren. Garth was predeceeced by his mother Shirley and survived by his father Ross.
Garth was a chef through and through — not just by trade, but by soul. He opened his bakery, Breadman Garth, with a fire in his gut and flour on his hands. He poured himself into every loaf, every sandwich, every ridiculous, overstuffed bite that people lined up around the block for.
His slogan said it all: “The bread that raises families.” And he meant that. Because for him, food was never just about eating — it was about feeding people’s hearts. And if you were hungry, struggling, or just needed someone — Garth showed up.
He helped anyone who needed it. No questions asked. Rich or broke, clean-cut or rough around the edges, he treated everyone like a friend. And that’s what he made everywhere he went — friends. Real ones. Because Garth was the kind of man who left an impression. Loud, generous, impossible not to notice.
He raised seven daughters — yes, seven. And somehow still managed to keep his sense of humour. He loved hard, partied harder, and when Christmas came around, he turned into the best damn Santa Claus you’ve ever seen. Over-the-top, endless Amazon packages, and gifts no one asked for but everyone ended up loving. He didn’t do “simple.” He did memorable.
He loved his ten grandkids like only a gpa could with too much candy too many gifts and never enough time. And yes, one stepson too, folded into the family the way garth did everything naturally with love.
But no one had his heart like Pam. His wife. His partner. His peace. They had a quiet language, secret words at bedtime, and a promise between them that held for a lifetime — never go to bed angry. That kind of love is rare. And now, though her world has shifted without him, she will carry him with her — because that’s what they built together: something lasting, something real.
Garth didn’t like the spotlight, he gave you food when you need a hand and he left behind a legacy not of money or fame but of impact in meals severed , hearts lifted and lives touched.
There will never be another Breadman Garth, the man, the myth , the baker, the legend, our dad, her love, their Gpa.
And if you’re listening Garth , wherever you are we hope the oven is hot, the breads rising , music is playing loud and the drinks are cold.
We love you , we miss you and we’ll keep feeding this world the way you taught us too: with full hands , open hearts and no holding back.
Catch you on the other side,
live long and prosper xoxo
(Celebration of life will be held in August date to be determined, all are welcome.)
