passing of John Blackmore... served with the RCR

(1/1)

buddy:


May 28, 1953 to February 28, 2012

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to this very special man. John lived his life with integrity and compassion, caring deeply for others. He was devoted to his children, Neil and Shelby, the lights of his life. They will deeply miss their dad's gentle ways. John continued to nurture a loving relationship with his former wife Cindy with whom he shared a very special bond. She, too, will miss his quiet strength and unconditional love.

John is predeceased by his mother, Mary Ellen Armstrong, and in-laws Shanti and Cabel Manhas. Left to mourn his passing are Neil, Shelby, Cindy and John's siblings, Deborah, Peter and Kathleen. He will be greatly missed by his sisters-in-law Abby (Royce) and Debbie and by his many nieces and nephews.

John spent thirty years as a dedicated member of the Canadian Armed Forces. The Comox Valley has been his home for the past 21 years. John greatly enjoyed the camaraderie he shared with his bowling buddies. Co-workers and customers at the Comox Co-op appreciated his friendly nature.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A celebration of John's life will be held on Saturday, March 10 at 638 Hornet Way, Comox. Please feel welcome to stop by between 2 and 5 pm to remember John and share your stories about how he touched your life. In lieu of flowers consider making a donation to the Comox Valley Food Bank or Y.A.N.A., reflective of John's spirit.
