Obituary of Llayton James Bagan

It is with the heaviest of hearts and deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our son, father, uncle, cousin, and friend Llayton Bagan.

Llayton was born April 17th, 1979, to Debbie Townsend and Murray Pratt. Llayton was raised by his grandparents, Georgina Quintal, and John Bagan. 

He grew up close with his auntie and uncles who he recognized as his brothers and sister.

Llayton was born and raised in Fort St. John, as a child Llayton would often be found spending his days riding his bicycle, fishing at Charlie Lake, playing with his siblings, or any activity that included the outdoors.

Llayton was the oldest brother to Bradley Townsend, and Michael Townsend.

Llayton met Jessica Paquette in 2000 and shortly after, in 2001 together they welcomed their baby Shanae Bagan. She was the light of his life, and proudest accomplishment.

Llayton will be greatly missed by all.
