Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJOHN T. SPRAGUE Died suddenly, and tragically on September 7, 2012 due to complications from a routine CT scan at UBC Hospital in Vancouver, BC at the age of 56. John was predeceased by his parents Daniel and Shirley (Stewart) Sprague of Winnipeg, MB. John is survived by, and truly missed by his loving wife Stacy Sprague (Orr), adoring daughter Cameron Stewart Sprague, his brothers Stewart Sprague (Jane Vayda) and David Sprague (Cathy Bowman), his niece Megan Sprague, nephew Daniel Sprague, his very dear Aunt Cath Milner and cousin Shirley Good. John is also lovingly remembered by mother-in-law Ann Cameron Orr, sister-in-law Alex Orr, brother and sister-in-law John and Lisa Orr and niece and nephews Jack, Jane and Blake Orr. The Milners and Whites of Winnipeg along with his entire Minaki Family also mourn his loss as do all his friends and family. John was a very special father who was so very proud of and did so much for his daughter. He was a wonderful husband, an accomplished sailor, boater, snow boarder, architect, musician, photographer, artist, advisor (Raymond James), lover of yoga, of life and of the lake. John was the calm in the storm. He was the loyal friend that you were so glad to have. His dry sense of humour could always put a smile on anyone's face.

I just learned of John's passing in a conversation with an old Winnipeg friend. John was my first great friend in life. I grew up with John as his next door neighbour at 307 Dromore Ave. in Winnipeg. We were the closest of friends for many years and I feel very fortunate to have been blessed with such great friendship in the early years of my life. There are countless memories of great happiness spent with John. I mourn his passing. - Posted by: Gerald Vincent (Friend) on: Nov 02, 2022

We will weather this together. Know that you are loved and we here for you. Love Hannah, Kay and Family - Posted by: Hannah Wang and Family (Friends) on: Sep 29, 2012
