Whitney Ten-Pow

August 20, 2026

Whitney Montgomery Ten-Pow, age 87, of Richmond, BC went to his heavenly home on August 20, 2026, finishing his earthly race with steadfast faith, gentle spirit and quiet dignity.

Born on August 1, 1939 in Georgetown, Guyana to Victor and Zaharah, Whitney lived a life marked by countless hours in prayer, deep love of God’s Word and unwavering service to Jesus Christ. His belief in a loving and just God was at the center of his life. He trusted God’s promises through both joyful and difficult seasons letting his faith guide him daily as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend.

Whitney is deeply missed by his wife of 63 years, Grace, his children: Joel (Carissa), Debbie (Michael), Paul (Elaine) and his grandsons: Ethan, Rowan, Micah, Silas, Max. Whitney is mourned by his siblings: Jean, Carol, Colleen, Gloria, David (Predeceased - Hyacinth, Frederick, Noel) and a host of extended family members as well as many brothers and sisters in Christ. Though we are saddened, we are comforted by the knowledge that he is now at peace in the presence of his Lord and Saviour.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 1 PM on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at Richmond Faith Fellowship (11960 Montego Street, Richmond, BC).

Memorial Donations can be made to one of Whitney’s favourite and meaningful charities: Union Gospel Mission, BC Cancer Foundation.

We got to know the Ten-Pow's at Richmond Faith Fellowship church since 2010. Over the years we became firm friends and sought out a monthly get together for lunch.Whitney loved the Word of God. Whenever we met, our conversation always turned to His Word. We spent many hours discussing verses from scripture. He always enjoyed that.We will miss him but we gain comfort knowing that he is with the Lord. Leopold

The man of God whom I admired and learned from. We all miss him. A man of God kept his faith, finished the race and is wearing a crown in heaven. We will miss him in our church, but one day we will see him again in heaven. He is not dead but alive in Christ.
