Charlie Fordham
Sunday, August 10, 2025 at 5:48PM Dear Friends,
It is with heavy hearts and deep gratitude for his life that we share that Charlie Fordham passed away on the afternoon of Friday, August 9, at Victoria General Hospital from a severe brain bleed that had occurred earlier in the week.
Charlie and Marlene (who passed away this Spring) were the founders of Capernwray Harbour Bible Centre and have lived on Thetis Island since 1979.
Thank you to the TIVFD for their speedy and professional response when 911 was called on Tuesday this week. The care and support we received was (as always) exceptional and we are profoundly grateful for each and every dedicated member of the TIVFD and for their tireless service.
A Celebration of Life will be held at New Life Church in Duncan on Saturday, August 30 at 11:00 am, which would have been Charlie and Marlene’s 56th wedding anniversary. For those unable to attend in person, a live stream will be available.
A private family interment will follow on August 31, where Charlie and Marlene’s ashes will be buried together in St. Margaret's Cemetery. As with Marlene, Charlie has requested that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the Capernwray Harbour Student Fund.
Thank you for your support for the Fordhams as they work through another very difficult time. We are so blessed to live in such a kind and caring community.
From the Capernwray Harbour staff family on behalf of Chris & Susy Fordham and their family
