Obituary of Wilfred Mitchell McGrath

MCGRATH, Wilfred Mitchell, 60 of Janvrin’s Harbour It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Wilfred Mitchell McGrath of Janvrin’s Harbour, which occurred at his home on June 22, 2025. Born March 1, 1965 in Arichat he was the son of Mary Gertie (George) and the late Wilfred Matthew McGrath. Mitchell was an electrician by trade, known for his easygoing nature, and the ever-present tunes playing in his car as he made his rounds through the island. If you ever saw a man behind the wheel, windows down, music up- you might’ve caught a glimpse of Mitch living life his way. He was a father, a friend, and a truly one-of-a-kind soul. Quick with a story, generous with his time, and always ready to help. Mitch touched the lives of many, often without even realizing it.
