Peacefully, with his loving children by his side, John’s battle with cancer ended.

John was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was proud of his occupations at Hayes-Dayna as a shipper/ receiver, the City of Winnipeg in the waste management department, GT Equipment as a chemical sprayer, IGA in Quebec, and a guest servicer at the Garrick Hotel. He took pride in his positions and enjoyed working with many co-workers. John was a long-time member of the Fort Garry Legion and a proud member of the Redboine Local. He very much enjoyed spending time with family, he would never miss an event. He loved being the armchair quarterback. He enjoyed waking up to a coffee and reading the newspaper. He played his card games, online games, bingo and completed his crossword puzzles with his mom.

As per his wishes cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held.
