John passed away at Burnaby General Hospital on January 14, 2021 after a long illness. He was predeceased by his parents Ernie and Daisy Wiltshire and brother Tom (at age 3). His is survived by his partner Carol Hayashi, her children Christie (Geoff) and Brent (Lindsey), grandchildren Wyatt and Kate, sisters Pamela Reid (Glen) and Lyn Lidberg (Lloyd) and many lifelong friends.
John was born in Vancouver; however, he spent the majority of his life in New Westminster. He had many interests. He was a car guy, a talented guitarist and spent many happy hours on his Harley. He had an amazing sense of humour; he was witty and told a great story. He could be restless and impatient at times but could also be extremely charming. He lived his life passionately and without compromise. To coin a phrase “He did it his way “. He had a profound effect on everyone that knew him. He came up against many challenges in his life, but the laughter is what we will remember him by. We will miss his presence in our lives.
Thanks to the staff at George Derby and Burnaby General Hospital. Also, thanks for the many calls, emails and texts the family received. No service at John’s request. No flowers or gifts please. If you would like to celebrate John’s life, enjoy a beverage of your choice while listening to some Clapton.
The journey continues…..
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de John Trevor WILTSHIRE aka J Dubbs June 22 1948 January 14 2021..
