GRAVES, Adam Richard Graves  -

November 15, 1987 - April 12, 2024

Beloved husband, father, son, brother and friend, Adam Richard Graves, passed away on 12 April 2024 at the age of 36.

Adam died in Toronto, Canada where he was living with his loving wife Clare and their beautiful 20-month old son, Cayden.

His family and friends are in shock at Adam’s sudden and untimely passing, and grateful to the many people who have expressed their own sadness at this loss.

Hearing happy stories of Adam, sharing special memories and receiving offers of support through this incredibly difficult time have been hugely comforting to Clare and the family. Adam was born on 15 November 1987 in Chester to Ellen and Colin Graves.

He grew up with sister Charlotte in Ellesmere Port and attended The Firs Primary School and Wirral Grammar School.

At school he excelled at English Literature, Music and Media. At Yale College in Wrexham, he started on his path towards a visual effects career, studying A-Levels including Film Studies, Media Studies

and Art, before commencing his degree in Film & Television Studies at Aberystwyth University.

He was always self-motivated and knew exactly what he wanted to do; where many young people attempt different careers, drifting between jobs and changing their course, Adam was always determined to pursue a career in television and film effects, and was keen to put in the hard graft to get there.

It was at Aberystwyth University that he met and fell in love with Clare and after completing their degrees, they moved to London to pursue their respective careers: Adam in visual effects and Clare in teaching. They worked hard, living in a tiny flat in King’s Cross, and enjoyed exploring the city at the weekend, making new friends and frequenting the local pubs.

In 2017, an exciting job opportunity as a Compositor for Legend 3D presented itself, so Clare and Adam took a huge step and moved to Toronto – the home of the film production industry. It was competitive but Adam threw himself into his passion for film and television and kept climbing up the ladder. Adam and Clare enjoyed their lives in Canada, laying down roots when they adopted their cat, Smudge, and enjoying their shared interests of WWE and Formula One.

When he passed, Adam was working as Creative Head and Visual Effects Supervisor at Vitamin VFX. He had recently discovered that he has been nominated twice for Achievement in Visual Effects at the 2024 Canadian Screen Awards, akin to the Baftas and Oscars.

His family and friends were so proud of his tenacity, his dedication and the responsibility he felt to support his family. In March 2018, Adam proposed to Clare on the seafront at Aberystwyth, outside of The Bay, a bar where they had originally met. This was done in front of Clare’s Dad as one of his final wishes, and it was magical to share this happy occasion together. In 2022, Adam and Clare became parents to their vibrant, happy boy, Cayden and were married the following year back in the UK.

Adam was delighted to be a dad, and never happier than when he was making Cayden laugh, and spending time together as a family at Niagara Falls. Clare was thrilled to experience Adam as a father, and after the loss of her own dad in July 2018 and Adam’s mum in November 2022, their family was finally able to share some joy and peace. It is these cherished memories that will live with Clare forever, and which she will work hard to share with Cayden as he grows.

It is vital to Clare and the whole family that Cayden knows as much as possible about his dad, and the wonderful bond they shared that tragically ended too soon.

Adam’s funeral service will be held at 1.00pm on Friday 26 April at: The SIMPLE ALTERNATIVE FUNERAL CENTRE - PICKERING 1057 Brock Road Pickering, ON L1W 3T7 Prior to this, from 12.00pm - 1.00pm, visitation will be available for friends and colleagues, should they wish to say a personal goodbye to Adam. After the funeral, there will be a gathering at the family home: 24-1350 Glenana Road Pickering, ON L1V 2V9

Anyone who knew and loved Adam is welcome to attend, and the family is grateful to anyone who would like to come and pay their respects. On this site, there is a digital guestbook where you are invited to leave condolences and happy memories of Adam, as well as a media area for music, photos or videos. If you could take a moment to write about the times you shared with Adam, and upload any images you have of him, these will be collected for Cayden to enjoy and learn more about his dad in the coming years.

The whole Graves family would like to thank everyone who was part of Adam’s life and brought joy to him, offered him opportunities to grow and put a smile on his face.

His life was too short, but he lived bravely and we are choosing to celebrate his memory and show thanks for his life.

HEROLD, Joseph Herold  -  With heavy hearts the family of Joseph John Herold announces that he lost the fight to recover from his latest surgery at Peterborough Regional Hospital on April 12, 2024.

He is predeceased by his parents Joseph and Barbara Herold (nee Weber); his five older siblings; and granddaughter Teegan.

Joe is survived by his loving and patient wife of 63 years, Linda (nee Sanders); and sons Mark (Jeannie), Tony (Donna) and J.P. (Gill). He was the loving Poppa to grandchildren Alex, Paul, Steven, Brooke, Niko, Patrick, and Melissa and will be fondly remembered by his great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Joe was born on December 21, 1942, in Toronto, Ontario.

He and Linda raised their boys in Stouffville, Uxbridge and Leaskdale before settling on the island in Port Perry as empty nesters.

They later moved to Bobcaygeon where they found comfort in the quiet community and formed many friendships.

Following Joe’s retirement from Ontario Hydro, he and Linda sought refuge from the cold winters by becoming snowbirds at their second home in Florida where they stayed for about 12 years. In his free time Joe loved to play golf, he was a talented craftsman and made some of the best dill pickles.

He will always be remembered for his meticulously kept hair, perfectly groomed moustache, the smell of his cherry pipe tobacco and his big-hearted grumpy love.

A celebration of Joe’s life will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in memory of Joe to the Uxbridge Scugog Animal Shelter, Sleeping Children Around the World or Africycle.

As a beloved mother, she will be missed terribly by her children, Stuart (Jacquie), Barbara (Wayne), and Colleen; and by her ever-loving grandchildren, Ethan, Liam, Keegan, Mei Lan, Callum, and Ming Li.

Missed dearly by her brothers, John (Joyce) and Nigel; as well as by her nieces and nephews.

Family and friends welcomed the Harrison family wherever they went in urban Scarborough, raising mink in the rural parts of the GTA, or for a brief relocation, and subsequent family visits to Ireland.

Always close to their hearts, Ireland remains a second home to their three children.

After raising their children, Anne became an Executive Secretary at Zynomatic, Pilkington Glass, and later Nestle, Toronto.

Retirement brought them to Castleton, and then Anne to Newcastle after Clem's passing in 2011.

Anne flourished in community activities including various horticultural societies and volunteering as a longstanding member of the United Church Women of Canada, assisting to resettle Syrian refugees, and participating in Soup Sisters.

She touched so many lives with kindness and genuine interest in others.
