John Brazil Obituary

John Brazil September 25, 1946 - February 10, 2022 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather. John (John Dan) was born on Bell Island and grew up in North River, Newfoundland. John came to Prince George in 1967 where he worked six years in the hotel industry in Mackenzie and Prince George. John later began working at Prince George Pulp and Paper where he worked for 30 years and retired in 2002 as Fiber Line Manager. John took great pride in his work at the mill. His family and friends were very important to him and his grandchildren were the light of his life. John enjoyed his well deserved years of retirement golfing, 20 years making memories with his family and friends at their François Lake cabin, and 12 years wintering in Yuma, Arizona enjoying the comradery of friends especially the Thursday afternoon 10 handed crib games. We would like to extend a great appreciation to Dr. Lamb and all the wonderful staff at the BC Cancer Clinic, all the doctors with Pain and Symptom Management and the Homecare nurses for their continuous care and support for John and his family. The family wishes that any memorial contributions be made to Prince George Hospice Society. "Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday."

Renee, Michael and AJ, we are so sorry for your loss. John was a good friend. We will miss his humour, his laugh and his impromptu drop ins. He loved spur of the moment dinners along with home made wine and lemoncello. He loved raiding the tomato patch and lunch with friends made his day. John was a warm and generous man, devoted and proud of his family, and loyal to his friends! We are fortunate to have had his friendship.

We are so saddened to hear about the passing of John. Rene, Michael, AJ and family we send you all our condolences, prayers and love at this extremely difficult time. Our hearts are with you all.
I have so many memories of learning to play chess with John at a young age. And even during the 2017 fires both John and Rene opened their home to us for 3 weeks while we were evacuated. Your entire family as always was so kind and thoughtful. Jordan and Oliver still talk about learning to play Mexican Train with John and Rene. Such wonderful memories. I will miss him dearly... may you rest in peace.

Sad to hear of John´s passing. I was honoured to have him as a workmate and friend during our years in Prince George. He was a "one of a kind" character and it always fun to share time with him, whether in the mill or out fishing.
