It’s with great sadness that the family of Gary Younghusband announce his sudden passing on 24 February 2021. Predeceased by his parents Charles and Alicia (nee Cowan) Younghusband, and step-mother Theresa Younghusband (nee Carriere).
Gary is survived by his loving wife of 57 years Lois (nee Elliott), their children Wayne (Myong), Kimberley (Carl), Jill (Brian) and Alan (Margaret). Lovingly remembered by grandchildren Emily, Liam, Madeleine, Evelyn and Jack, brothers Wayne (Katherine), Keith (Lynn), sister Anne (Bob), best friend Bob Liberty (Elizabeth) and many wonderful friends.
After 35 years of service and a number of postings with the Canadian Army, Gary and Lois retired to Cobden Ontario, where they became active members of the local CIVITAN Club and in recent years enjoyed wintering in Destin, Florida. Known for enjoying a good laugh, Gary loved a good time and truly enjoyed the company of family and friends.
Cremation has taken place. An interment is planned to be held in the National Military Cemetery located at Beechwood Cemetery at a later date. Donations in Gary’s memory can be made to www.hospicerenfrew.ca or a charity of your choice. Thank you to all who have supported our family and expressed their sympathies in this most difficult time. He was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.

Gary and I were good friends in Lowther, and remained good friends. We all loved and shared Gary's keen wit and great sense of humor. I am sure Gary had no regrets, surround by the love of his family and his great love for Lois he was very happy and content. I was devastated when I heard the sad news, I still think of him every day. It was a honor to have known such a special man. Rest in peace my friend.

My thoughts are with Lois, Keith, Lynn and The Younghusband Family at this very sad time. I met the Younghusband Family in Destin Florida at Sandpiper Cove. The "Snowbirds" who stay there are like family, thoughtful, full of fun, energy, and positive vibes. Gary and Lois were just such a couple. They exhibited happiness in their lives. They had a great sense of caring. Gary loved to tell stories. He always had a smile and a laugh. It was a pleasure to have known him. He will be greatly missed by family and friends. All my love and support. Cathy Campeau
