John passed away at 80 years of age on September 16, 2023 enjoying one of his favourite pastimes, fishing at Edith Lake near Kamloops, BC.
John will be forever lovingly remembered by his children: Debbie Hebden (Calgary, AB) and Andy (Cindy) Hebden; his grandchildren Celina, Ethan, Zack, Johnny; his great grandson Jameson; his brother Terry (Jean) and family in New Zealand; his mother-in-law Emily Brackett in Sidney, BC. He was predeceased by his loving wife Margaret Day, his father Alick Day and his mother Dorothy Day.
John was born and raised in Kamloops, BC. He retired as a machine shop manager at WJ Ellis then started his own landscaping business. He was a lighthearted, good humored, generous man who enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. You would often find him at Lac le Jeune with his favourite book and a Tim's coffee. He loved his grandkids and teasing them was an important part of his job. Saturday morning cartoons with his kids and grandkids was something he always looked forward to. He loved animals and nature and had a hobby farm for a few years. Fly fishing, hunting, camping and old westerns are just some of the things he enjoyed.
