ARDEN, John. June 10, 1930 - October 10, 2014. It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of John Arden on Friday morning October 10th. John will be greatly missed by his loving wife Adalene of 56 years. His children Carole, Dan, predeceased by son Gary in 1981. Grandchildren Chad, Joel and Corrina. John enjoyed life to the fullest. A happy and easy going man with a big smile and bigger heart, who always appreciated his family and friends. The BBQ was always ready to fire up for a delicious meal at John and Adalene's place. Their home away from home at Birch Bay was a great source of joy for mom and dad. They enjoyed many great years of entertaining family and friends. The door was always open. The Arden family would like to acknowledge the loving care provided by the staff at Crescent Gardens. A gathering to honour his life will take place at Victory Memorial Park 14831 - 28 Avenue, South Surrey, Friday, October 24 at 1 pm. In lieu of flowers a donation to a charity of your choice would greatly appreciated.
