Mr. Navin Chandra

Born in Fiji, Navin immigrated to Canada in 1973 at the age of 29. Through hard work and determination, he put himself through school and graduated from the University of British Columbia as a Certified General Accountant. He went on to enjoy a distinguished career of more than 30 years with the Canada Revenue Agency. Navin was a longtime member of the Fiji Canada Association, and also pursued a passion for real estate over the years.

Navin was a firm believer in giving back to his community. He generously volunteered with local nonprofit organizations and was always willing to share his professional expertise, donating his time and knowledge to help family, friends, and others with their accounting needs.

Navin is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Saras, and his children, Shirleen (Cindy) and Alvin. He will be fondly remembered by his siblings, Bimla, Saroj, Jai Wati, Narish (Greg), Shree (Debbie), Mukesh, Asha (Rynn), Irene, and Desmond, as well as his many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his father, Ram Chandar; his mother, Rajpati; and his siblings, Saras Wati, Harry, and Frances.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at Forest Lawn Memorial Chapel, 3789 Royal Oak Avenue, Burnaby, BC V5G 3M1.

The service will commence promptly at 10:00 a.m. All who knew and loved Navin are welcome to attend. There is also a Livestream link that can be found below for those who are unable to attend in person.
