John MAKKREEL Obituary
It is with profound sadness that the family announces the passing of John Makkreel on July 10, 2024 at the age of 67, following a battle with cancer.
John was born in East York TWP, Ontario. He moved to Fernie, British Columbia in 1977 where he met his wife, Irene. They later moved to Baynes Lake where they have lived for nearly 44 years.
John was a tradesman who built many local houses and also worked at the Elko sawmill for a number of years. He was very handy and helpful to his family and friends who would seek advice on projects. One particular project was helping to build and found FOLKS (Friends of Lake Koocanusa) that established the Waldo Cove Regional Park. He was also one of the first volunteer firefighters for the Baynes Lake fire department.
John loved Baynes Lake and spent his days fishing, boating, camping, quadding, restoring old vehicles, and working in his shop.
John was a loving husband, father, Grampy, Grandad, brother, uncle, and a friend to many. John is survived by his wife of 45 years, Irene; his sons, Bill and Robert (Therese); his daughter, Katherine (Chris) and grandchildren: Donovan, Raymond, Blayne, and Haelyn. He is also survived by his sister Vinetta (Huntley). John was predeceased by his father John in 2021 and his mother Vinetta in 2022.
We would like to thank all the doctors and nurses who were very kind to John while in the hospital. It is much appreciated.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the local hospice or the cancer society.
