Obituary

John Bryan, a beloved family man, respected community member, and devoted friend, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2023, in Woodstock, Ontario. Born on April 14, 1938, in Orangeville, Ontario, John lived a life full of love, laughter, and lasting memories.

John was predeceased by his loving wife, Patricia, and his cherished daughter, Patty. He is survived by his daughter, Nancy (Cam), and son Jim (Susan); his grandchildren, Morgan, Kelsey, Katherine, Sara, and Steven; and his great-grandchildren, Anders and Claire. John was also the beloved brother of Shirley, Raymond, Kathy, and Jeannie, and the loving uncle to numerous nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his siblings, Ronald, Glenda, and Bonnie.

Known for his wit, wisdom, and warm heart, John was a pillar of strength for his family and friends. His resilience and positivity in the face of life's challenges were an inspiration to all who knew him. His love for his family was immeasurable, and his devotion to them was unwavering.

John was an active member of the community, always ready to lend a hand or share a kind word. His dedication to service was evident in his long-term membership with Legion Branch 55. He was also a proud retired member of C.A.W. Local 636. John's commitment to these organizations reflected his values of community, solidarity, and service.

In his leisure time, John enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. He found joy in the company of his family and friends, the beauty of nature, and the satisfaction of a job well done. His zest for life and his infectious laughter will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

John's life was a testament to the power of love, compassion, and resilience. His legacy will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and the community he served so faithfully. As we bid him farewell, we celebrate a life well-lived and remember a man well-loved.
 

A Celebration of Life will be held at Brock & Visser Funeral Home, 845 Devonshire Avenue, Woodstock (519-539-0004) on Friday, September 15, 2023 at 1:00pm. John will be laid to rest with his wife Patricia at Hillview Cemetery. For those who wish, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Woodstock General Hospital.
