John Arthur Markham, known to all as Jack, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 2, 2025. He was surrounded by his loving family.

Born May 5, 1934, Jack lived a full life and he leaves behind a rich legacy of love and kindness.

Jack was a devoted husband to his wife, Margaret, for over 55 years. Their bond was one of deep love and mutual respect. Together, they raised three children: Ralph, Chris (Raghad), and Jennifer. Jack’s heart expanded even further with the arrival of his grandchildren: Robbie, Isabella, Ryan, Olivia, and Naomi. His gentle presence and thoughtful guidance will be missed by his children and grandchildren.

He was the proud brother to his late sister Jane who lived in England.

He lived his life with service to the community, dignity, quick wit, and quiet strength.
