On World Environment Day, we are reminded of the importance of caring for the world around us — a responsibility that can also extend to how we honour a loved one.
In recent years, many families have begun exploring more environmentally conscious options when planning a funeral. From simple services to thoughtful choices in materials and memorialization, there are many ways to reduce environmental impact while still creating a meaningful tribute.
Options such as natural burials, biodegradable urns, tree planting memorials, and reduced-use services allow families to honour their loved one while also respecting the environment.
Even small choices — like minimizing printed materials or selecting locally sourced products — can make a difference.
At Sunset Funeral Services Ltd., we are here to support families in creating services that reflect not only the life of their loved one, but also the values that mattered most to them.
Today, we recognize that remembrance and responsibility can go hand in hand.

Barrington 'Barry' Anthony Lewis

Barrington (Barry) Anthony Lewis passed away peacefully on 30 May 2026, after a short battle with cancer. Barry was born on the 13th of August 1940 in Jamaica. He spent his childhood years with friends playing cricket, football and fishing, and as a young man worked in the hospitality industry in Jamaica, the Bahamas and on-board cruise ships.

He met his wife, Maureen, in New York, USA, in 1969, starting their 57-year journey through life, collecting friends and experiences together. Arriving in Canada, Barry first became a farmer - beef cattle, pigs, sheep, wild turkeys and even some exotic birds. This was followed by becoming a restaurant owner and then spending time managing and bringing back to “profit” restaurants and hotels in Cloyne, ON, Montego Bay, Jamaica, Edmonton, AB, Provost, AB, Banff, AB, Jasper, AB, Queen Charlotte Islands, BC, Canmore, AB, and Calgary, AB.

In 1999, Barry and Maureen had had enough of the travelling life and finally found a place they could call home – Three Hills, AB - and their final adventure, raising goats, began - a new start, making friends, finding hunting partners, and amazing neighbours.

Barry loved Maureen, his family, and all their friends. He will be missed dearly by his children, Terri, Nicole, David, and Donna, their spouses, his thirteen grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, two uncles, three aunts, and countless friends.

A Memorial Service will be held Friday, June 12, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at the Bethel Fellowship Church, Three Hills, AB, with a Reception to follow.

If family and friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to the Bethel Fellowship Church Building Fund.

Condolences, memories, and photos may be shared and viewed with Barry's family here.

Some moments in life remind us how important it is to slow down, reflect, and hold our loved ones close.
Grief is not about forgetting — it’s about learning how to carry love and memories forward in a new way. Through remembrance, shared stories, and quiet moments of reflection, those we love continue to remain part of our lives every day.

May this be a gentle reminder to cherish the moments, memories, and connections that matter most 🕊️
