Our family’s hearts are broken and our lives forever changed. On March 4, 2025, John Turner passed peacefully at Guelph General Hospital at the age of 72.
Loving father of Adam (Mary) Turner and Sarah (Daniel) LeBlanc; proud Grandfather (Papa) of Logan, Julia and Blake; and beloved brother of Margaret (Hans) Gottscheu. John will be deeply missed by all his extended family and by his many friends.
John’s greatest joy was spending time with his family and friends, joking around and telling his many funny stories, playing and watching hockey. He’s also known for his love of fishing and working on and cruising around in his green 1969 Chevy pickup.
John will live forever in our hearts, in the space around us, in the stories we tell, in the memories we share, in the smiles and in the laughter that follow. He was loving, sweet, patient, funny and had a very kind soul. He made this world a better place and will be loved forever and never forgotten.
A celebration of life will take place in April 2025.
