Born in Victoria, British Columbia, Gary Brian Haut passed away on October 5, 2026, at the age of 81.
Gary was predeceased by his brother, Adrian (Moira). He is survived by his wife, Lorraine; his sons, Brian and Derek (Megan); his daughter, Louise (Mark); his grandchildren, Connor, Oliver, Tessa and Maimo; and his sister, Lynn (Gary). He was deeply loved by his sisters-in-law, Denise and Angela, and will also be fondly remembered by his nieces, nephews and cousins.
Gary was larger than life, with a boisterous laugh that filled the room, a mischievous spirit and twinkling eyes. His smile will always be remembered by those who loved him. He loved music, dancing, a good joke, watching sports and spending time with his family. He loved Vancouver Island and was happiest in the forests around Cowichan Lake.
He will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered.

Mr Haut, you and Mrs Haut made some pretty incredible people in your lifetime that I am grateful to call my friends. You are the cornerstone of the “Haut Foundation”. I know you are dearly missed and fondly remembered for many things, including introducing new vernacular to the young people…”Submarine races” comes to mind . Sending you off with lots of love, and thinking of Lorraine, Brian, Derek, Louise ❤️❤️❤️
Heartbroken Dad. Love you so very much, your Louise xo
