Ian went Home to be with his Lord and Saviour on Saturday, January 9, 2021, in his 72nd year.Beloved husband of Marlene (Wilson).Dear father of Joanne (Ben) Edwards, Andrew (Jess) Archibald, and Karen (Rich) VandenBerg.Loving grandfather to Ethan, Rhys, Zeke, and Rose.Precious brother of Janet Archibald, Stuart Archibald, and Merrin (Ross) Thomson. Ian’s life was marked by his love for God and his love for people.His faith in the Lord Jesus Christ was his cornerstone, and this is best reflected in one of his favourite Bible verses, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation.”Such a focus influenced his priorities in life, his business dealings, his work ethic, his generosity, his love for others, and his service.Born and raised in Toronto, Ian finished his M.Sc. Degree in Agriculture in 1977 at the University of Guelph. Previous to that, he spent a few years as assistant pastor at Crestwick Baptist Church.Our thanks go to the Southlake Regional Health Care team on several wards and the ICU, and particularly to Dr. Jayakar and Dr. Lingley, all of whom offered exemplary care. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Ian to Ethnos Canada, a mission group he loved, to Southlake Regional Health Centre Foundation designated to Infectious Disease Department – Dr. Michael Lingley, or the Cannington Baptist Church (by mail).
