February 5, 1970 – April 8, 2026
It is with great sorrow that I’m announcing the passing of my son Anthony Haydn Barrett, who died suddenly in his home of natural causes on April 8 2026. He leaves behind his loving mother Joanna, her partner Brian, his father Geoff and his partner Lindsey.
Upon moving to Salt Spring with his family in 1981, he enjoyed his youth, joining sports teams and riding his dirt bike over the hills of Salt Spring. Anthony, unbeknownst to his Mum, had started cutting friends’ hair in his bedroom so upon graduation he joined his Mum at Island Magic Touch Hair Salon. There as a team, side by side they cut Salt Springers’ hair for the last 26 years.
He loved music, his guitars, his snazzy white sports car, his home and family, especially visiting his family in England. He and his dog were constant companions until Barnaby’s death 4 years ago.
Anthony will be sorely missed by his family and friends but never forgotten.
There will be a memorial service Friday, April 24 at 11am at All Saints church and a gathering at 121 Desmond Cr. following the service.
We are so very sorry to hear about your loss. Our sincere condolences.
We will be thinking about you.
