DARWIN JAMES GREAVES

DARWIN JAMES GREAVES October 9, 1949 – October 4, 2026. Darwin James Greaves passed away in the early hours of October 4th, just a few days shy of what would have been his 77th birthday.
Judge Greaves was a true Renaissance man; sportsman, scholar, storyteller, gardener, and friend.
He was also a dad, grandfather and husband.He will be missed by his loving wife Diana and his three daughters Amanda Andrews, Juliana Rempel and Emily Sorensen, grandchildren and brother Dale Greaves and sister Donna Braham. In true character, he left the party quietly and a tad early. But he brought much laughter, generosity and so damn much knowledge.If you feel inclined to honor our dad’s memory, please buy your neighbor a coffee. Share a story or a laugh. He would love that.
Darwin was an unforgettable character. Being a highly skilled barrister and effective judge was just part of the picture. He was fun to be with. He has gone far too soon and will be missed by many, many people.
I remember Darwin as a man of principle. My condolences.

Darwin was an integral part of our Fish and Wildlife Division and our enforcement efforts. He was there for us when we needed him, probably at times when he was extremely busy with his many other duties. He was a Crown Prosecutor’s Crown Prosecutor, The best of the best. He was also a true friend.
He was appreciated, not only for his professionalism but also for his dedication to the protection of the wild things. He was made an honorary Fish and Wildlife Officer, a gesture which he truly appreciated. He will be remembered and missed.

I first met Darwin in the late 70s or early 80s when we were both lawyers doing prosecution work. We became friends and, as well, eventually became judicial colleagues.
As I remember him, he had many talents and traits worthy of a lawyer and judge including but not limited to : a sound knowledge of the law, a common sense approach in its application, a willingness to call a spade a spade (so to speak ) and a refusal to pay homage to political correctness.
To you, Diana, and family I extend my heart felt condolence
