Ode To Christian Garon 1954-2018

towards a sense of harmony.

Inappropriate behavior, especially violence, he sure would have none of that. In his young mind, he had figured out, it was not where life was at.

He opened his eyes, his heart, and his mind, and so he began to learn. Like a sponge, he just absorbed everything, to do good, he’d begun to yearn.

The good was in, and the bad was out, as Christian reached for the sky. Many roadblocks, were put in his way, but easily, he passed them by.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the place where he lived, few noticed is ability of mind. But regardless of this, Christian persevered, he was truly one of a kind.

He began to build models, of the buildings on site, each one so to perfect scale. His tools were his hands, his mind was his guide, everything built to detail.

Popsicle stick, and laundry soap boxes, were his materials of choice. With skills of a genius, he worked his craft, this art was his strongest voice.

Though his work was destroyed, by other residents, Christian did not cower to this. He was determined, to reach for the sky, and no opportunity he’d miss.

He finally got a break, he moved out of the center, and better things began to be. Next he moved to Knowlton, where slowly but surely, he began to find harmony.

With his buddy John, Chris established himself, showing the world his worth. Whatever he did, he surpassed expectations, but always, he was down to earth.

Who be this soul, who had come from the dark, and now was out in full light. There are honest words, that clearly describe him, truly a man of insight:

Christian Garon has been an exemplary member, of the Ville de Lac Brome. For 40 years, this kind, and caring soul, has made Knowlton his home.

Respectful, responsible, reliable, resourceful, and above all, very wise. This humble man, very dedicated, never once wore a disguise.

Always the ready, to lend a helping hand, to anyone who be in need. He deplored violence, of any kind, peace was truly his creed.

A most happy soul, who really loved life, and kept it in a healthy way. Physically, mentally, and even spiritually, blossomed he did, every day.

Exemplary his values, a fine role model, for the whole world about.
