GARNETT
Ian Garnett
A memorial service will begin at 11 a.m. Thursday at the Buehler Alumni and Visitors Center at UC Davis for Ian Garnett, 55, a senior lecturer in the department of animal science, who died unexpectedly March 3, 2001, after a brief illness.
Garnett was born in England and grew up in Vancouver, B.C. He obtained a bachelor's degree in agriculture in 1968 and a master's degree in genetics in 1970, both from the University of British Columbia. He was awarded a Commonwealth Scholarship to study for a doctoral degree at the University of Edinburgh, completing that degree in 1973.
He then joined Agriculture Canada in Brandon, Manitoba, as a research scientist in swine breeding, a position he held until 1977, when he was recruited by Cargill Ltd. He was with Cargill for 13 years, serving as a marketing specialist, manager of Cargill Hybrid Swine, manager of livestock operations and as general manager of Cargill's Swine Products Division. The last of these involved a move to the United States in 1986, where he assumed responsibility for more than 160 production units in five states.
In 1990 Garnett was recruited by UCD as director of the newly established professional master's degree program in agriculture and management and senior lecturer in the Department of Animal Science.
Colleagues note that his genuine love for teaching and working with students and an unfailingly optimistic attitude were equally important to his outstanding achievement as an administrator and teacher.
In 1999 Garnett was recognized as the outstanding faculty adviser in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. He helped develop and teach several new courses that integrated a management component with production technologies, and was the prime mover in initiating a field trips course that took students to production operations in the state. He personally led those trips during the past two years.
Members of the animal science faculty note that, in addition to fulfilling his formal responsibilities with distinction, Garnett was an outstanding departmental citizen and colleague, making positive contributions to many of the department's activities. He was known for his wonderful sense of humor and will be remembered for his good nature and love of family and friends.
He is survived by his wife, Eleanore, of Davis; son, Stewart, of Roseville; and daughters, Lindsay of Sacramento, and Christa of Davis. He also leaves his mother, Lena Garnett; sister, Jill Terpstra; nephew, Robert; and niece, Kelly, all of Vancouver, B.C.; and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Ian Garnett Scholarship and Award Fund. Checks may be made to the UC Regents and sent to the Department of Animal Science, University of California, Davis, One Shields Ave., Davis, CA 95616.
