Distinguished friends, family members, and all who are gathered here, we come together today to celebrate the life of a great man, Gareth Allen. He was a true testament of conviction, compassion, and strength, and we are all better for having known him.
As we come to mourn the loss of Gareth, I ask that we also honor his memory by remembering the innumerable ways in which he left his mark on our lives. His wit, wisdom, and warmth have left an indelible impression on our hearts. It is now our duty to carry on his legacy by embodying these virtues ourselves and by remembering the impact he had on our lives.
Gareth was first and foremost a devoted family man. He loved his family with all his heart and would go to great lengths to ensure their happiness and comfort. Gareth was the epitome of a doting husband, a loving father, and a caring brother. His innate ability to find joy in the simplest of moments taught us all to appreciate the small pleasures of life.
In addition to this, Gareth was a firm believer in the virtues of hard work and perseverance. He was a working man, in the truest sense of the word. His favorite song "Working Man" by Rita MacNeil, embodies precisely how he approached life – with devotion, determination, and a quiet dignity. We can all learn from his example as we face our daily struggles with steadfast conviction and dedication.
Gareth's strength in character was matched only by his gentle nature, which earned him the title of "gentle giant." He had a calming presence that brought comfort to those around him, and he always knew when a loved one needed support. His loyalty and dedication to his friends and family members were unwavering, and he embodied the true qualities of a devoted soul.
Moreover, everyone who had the pleasure of knowing Gareth knows that he was a straight talker. He never minced his words and called a spade a spade. His honesty and integrity were unmatched, a rare quality in today's world. He was never one to shy away from telling you the truth, even if it was hard to hear. Although at times this could be challenging, Gareth's candid demeanor led to the betterment of many lives.
As we stand together in remembrance of Gareth, let us honor his memory by embracing the qualities that made him the person we loved and admired. In doing so, we ensure that his spirit and legacy lives on in each one of us.
Now, let us take a moment to appreciate the song that so deeply resonated with Gareth and inspired him throughout his life— Rita MacNeil's "Working Man."
