It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Timothy Harding on July 12, 2022 at the age of 58. Tim died peacefully in St. Paul’s Hospital, Vancouver, BC.

Tim was born in Hamilton, Ontario on October 18, 1963. He is survived by his parents; Daphne Harding of Windermere, BC and Keith Harding, of Calgary, AB. He is also survived by his brother Peter Harding, sister Alison Boyle, as well as nieces and nephews, and many friends.

Tim spent a lot of his young childhood in Calgary, AB. Many friends of his there will always remember his great laugh, big smile, and awesome sense of humour. He also spent time in various places in BC. He loved skiing, sailing, and boats in general. In fact, the last place he lived was on Bowen Island. His dog Luc and he lived on a boat in the local marina for almost 6 months. Tim, being such a good dog owner, found a wonderful home on Bowen Island for Luc to spend the remainder of his life.

There will be no funeral service, as that is how Tim wanted it. In remembrance of his life, the family asks that any charitable donations be made to the animal charity of your choice.

“You will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that you touch perfect speed. And that isn’t flying a thousand miles an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit and perfection doesn’t have limits. Perfect speed, my son, is being there.”
