Ken Saito, Vancouver, BC—It is with great sorrow that the community at Southlands Riding Club shares the news of Ken Saito’s passing. For the past 18 months, Ken served as the dedicated grounds manager, bringing life to the property with his unwavering dedication and kind spirit. His work went far beyond maintaining the grounds; his smile, friendly wave from the tractor, and commitment to excellence left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him.
The Southlands community, deeply affected by his passing, has come together to support his family, who now face significant financial pressures, including funeral expenses. A fundraiser has been launched by the Southlands Riding Club, with a goal of raising $30,000 to help alleviate these burdens and allow the family to focus on healing and honoring Ken’s memory.
Messages of love and support have poured in from across the community. Robyn Hunt expressed her grief, saying, "Ken, I will miss your smile and hello every morning I arrive at SRC. You cared so much about our riding club." Kimberley St Pierre shared, "His smile, energy, and passion for making our club and grounds beautiful were phenomenal." Stephanie Robb fondly recalled her experiences riding in the mornings, stating, "Riding in his freshly harrowed ring was perfection."
The impact of Ken’s positive attitude and generous nature extended far beyond his duties at the club. Alison Martin reflected, "Ken was a wonderful guy with a big smile. Always a smile and a wave and a ‘can do’ enthusiasm." Many others echoed these sentiments, noting how much he will be missed and how his contributions to the club made it a better place for all.
We join the Southlands community in mourning the loss of Ken Saito. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this incredibly difficult time.
