We Remember

HAGLUND, Magnus

1969 – 2026

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that my father, Magnus Haglund, passed away unexpectedly at age 56 on February 22, 2026, in Kelowna, British Columbia. He is survived by his wife, Eeva; daughter, Anna (Damon); his two siblings; and his mother.

Born in rural Finland in 1969, Magnus was the oldest of three siblings and a caring big brother. He was a headstrong child who grew into an adventurous adult who worked as an exploration geologist around the globe – from the Amazon rainforest to the frozen shores of Greenland.

With his wife and daughter, he moved to Kelowna in 2004 to build a life in Canada. In the vast natural landscape of Canada, he explored his love for hiking and birdwatching. After tasting the wines of the Okanagan Valley, Magnus became inspired to pursue multiple degrees in wine and received high honours.

He was best known for his vibrant personality and his masterful storytelling abilities, where he brought to life the countless adventures he had undertaken.

He will be dearly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. In honour of Magnus, please consider donating to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

With a heart full of love and gratitude for my father,
Anna Haglund
