It is with deep love and sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Sardar Shangara Singh Bath on November 24, 2025. Born on November 25, 1939, in Hardo Pharala, Punjab, India, he lived a life defined by hard work, kindness and devotion to family and community.
Shangara Singh and his wife, Gurmej Kaur Bath, immigrated to Canada in 1967, where he worked at the Tolko Mill in Heffley Creek (IWA 1-417) until retiring in 2003. He was known for his warm nature, love of gardening, dedication to the Gurudwara and his faith, and his constant support for the community. He had a special way of connecting with people and many will remember him, in their words, as a “very nice man”.
He is survived by his wife, Gurmej Kaur Bath, and their children: Daljit Singh Bath (Susane), Kulwant Singh Bath (Balbir), Kamal Kaur Johal (Bhupinder) and Kuldeep Singh Bath (Cindy). He was a proud grandfather to Jaimal Singh Johal (Amira), Darshan Singh Johal, Gavin Singh Bath, and Liam Singh Bath, and great-grandfather to Arjan Singh Johal.
A service will be held at Kamloops Funeral Home on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at 11:00am. Following the service and cremation at Drake Cremation (211 Andover Crescent in Dallas), prayers and lunch will be held at the Kamloops Gurudwara Sahib Society, 1345 Ord Road, Kamloops, BC.
The family is grateful for all support and condolences during this difficult time.
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh
