Muneshwar Prasad

With sadness in our hearts, we announce the passing of Muneshwar (Munna) Prasad, a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, and brother. Munna passed peacefully on October 27, 2022 at the age of 82. Munna is survived by his beloved wife Peggy, his daughters Donella and Sonia, his grandsons Colton and Erik, his brother Suresh (Suzanne), and his sister Anita; he is predeceased by his sister Amla and his parents Ram and Savitri.

Munna was born on August 1, 1940 in Suva, Fiji. In his younger years he was a devoted Boy Scout and earned the Duke of Edinburgh award, which was presented by Prince Philip.

In Fiji he started out working at the law courts, a career he would continue in Canada.

Munna made the most of Island life. He could be found traveling the islands for work and out on the town with his friends.

Ever the adventurer, in 1967 Munna emigrated to Vancouver where he settled and raised his family. A family man through and through, Munna sponsored his family to move to Canada in the late 1960s.

A founding member of Fiji Canada, he was recently awarded an honourary lifetime membership. This year, the Federal Government presented Munna with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Pin for his lifetime of service to his community. He served on the board of the PNE, the board of Sunset Community Centre, the Medical Appeals Board, and several others. After retiring as a Trial Coordinator and Justice of the Peace, he went on to spread joy to many families as a marriage commissioner.

Munna was a rock for all members of his family, always there for those he loved, especially his wife and daughters. Papa-Daddy-Munna will be deeply missed.

Join us to celebrate his life at Hamilton Harron Funeral Home on November 10th at 11:00 am. For those unable to attend the funeral service, the family invites you to view by livestream through the following link: https://funeraweb.tv/diffusions/63229
