John was born in Wandsworth London, England and the family soon immigrated to Canada in 1960. The growing family eventually settled in Castlegar BC where John attended Stanley Humphries Secondary School. John, his siblings and his many friends enjoyed fun times and created great memories fishing, hiking, swimming, biking and enjoying the great outdoors while growing up in the Castlegar area.

John moved to Calgary where he worked and traveled the world with Tresco Industries for the past 23 years. John truly enjoyed his years at Tresco where he made many friends and felt his colleagues were like a second family to him. John and the family are most grateful to Mike Huth and the Tresco family for the great care and compassion they had for him during his illness.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to all the staff at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre especially Dr. Richard Yee-Ling, Dr. Qureshi Rizwan and nurse Jenna Haugrud as well as the caring staff at Chinook Hospice.
