On July 2, 2022, John decided to leave his earthly coil and he is now on his next great fishing adventure.

John was a loving husband and partner to Georgina for over 40 years. John will be lovingly remembered by his five children: Carrie (Brian), Hailey, Neal (Taylor), Dean (Natasha) and Lisa (Lance), 12 grandchildren: Corey, Joey, Jared, T.J, Dakota, Kirrily, Cheyenne, Rayne, Bradley, Lincoln, Aubrey, and Layla, as well as two great-grandchildren: Angel and Brandon. John is also survived by his three siblings: James, Marvin, Jody (Lorne).

He was predeceased by his mother Grace, father Arthur, three sisters: Sheila, Edna, Shirley, brother Robert and grandson Steven.

John was an avid fisherman who was happiest at the business end of a fishing pole. He loved to pick wild mushrooms. John spent many evenings watching his beloved Edmonton Oilers and watching National Geographic documentaries.

He will always be remembered as a loving and devoted husband to Georgina and a tremendous father and grandfather.

A Celebration of John’s life will be held Saturday, July 9, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. at Belvedere Community Hall, 13223-62 Street, Edmonton.
