He will forever live affectionately in the hearts of his loving wife, Sandy, his children, Jarrod, Leah (David), Laura (Ryan), Jamie (Kerry) and step-daughter Kim.

John enjoyed many years doing all the things he loved passionately; working with his hands, volunteering within the community, hunting, camping, traveling the world, living the good life at Lilac; but most of all he loved spending lots of time with friends and family! The family would like to extend sincere thanks to all the staff in 3E ward at Riverview Medical Centre and Cancer Care at HSC. The care we received was extraordinary!
