YOUNG, Ivan Earl

Ivan was the proud founder and owner of Peterborough Pool and Patio, a business he built with dedication, integrity, and hard work. In his earlier years, he worked as a heavy equipment operator throughout Canada and the Bahamas, embracing adventure and opportunity wherever it led him. He was also the author of A Roads Scholar, sharing stories and reflections from his life well lived. 

Community was at the heart of Ivan’s life. He cherished his second family at the Fowlers Corners Lions Club, where fellowship, service, and friendship brought him great joy over the years.
