John suddenly passed away on December 30, 2025, at 3:10 p.m., leaving a profound sense of loss among those who loved him. John loved family gatherings and music. He played guitar and piano and was a very big Elvis fan, whom he was fortunate to see in person. He loved travelling, and we had many memorable trips. James and his father loved their visits and enjoyed playing in poker tournaments together. He was loved very much by his family and friends.

John is survived by his wife, Gail, and his son, James, who will forever cherish their time together. He was also a deeply loved uncle to Wallace and Craig, who will remember him with great affection. His warmth, and humour, touched everyone who knew him, and his absence will be felt at every family gathering and holiday. His memory will live on in the stories shared and the music he enjoyed.
