It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of John Raymond Cribb (64) on April 15th, 2023. He passed peacefully with his wife (Lana) and children (Sam & Jonathan) at his bedside.
John was born on September 24, 1958 in St John’s but resided in the small outport community of Grole, Newfoundland. His greatest childhood memories were from his time spent in Grole with family and friends. At 10 years old John and his family were resettled to Marystown, where he lived until he moved to St John’s to attend Memorial University. While in his last year of high school, John met the love of his life, Lana. He joined the RCMP after completing his bachelor of commerce, getting married and having his first-born child, Jonathan. The decision to join the RCMP was the start of a great adventure for John and his family. His career brought him first to Port Hawkesbury, then Sydney, St John’s, Halifax and then back to Burin before retiring from the force and settling in St John’s. Most of John’s fondest memories are during his early days with the RCMP with his young family in Nova Scotia. Many of his lifelong friendships were made during those years.
John was an avid reader and loved discussing books, especially with his book club. He loved travelling with his wife which took him all over the world including many beloved trips to New Zealand to visit his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Although his family and his career were of great importance, everyone who knew John knew that sports were a lifelong love of his as well. He was an avid athlete and sportsman until his ability to play sports was taken from him due to his PLS diagnosis in his later years. His deteriorating disability may have taken away his ability to participate but it didn’t take away his love for the game. He loved to chat about sports, watch and coordinate sports pools with his friends living across the country.
John was a loving father and husband; his family meant the world to him. In recent years, becoming a grandfather and developing deep connections with his grandchildren was incredibly important to him. Patience, humility and unconditional empathy were among his greatest strengths. He cared so greatly for those around him, something felt by everyone who John met. The deterioration of his physical ability may have taken away a lot from John during his last few years, however it never took away his hopeful spirit. He greeted every day with a smile and he always counted his blessings, which he felt he had many. John was always a man of great faith and even through the past few years with his deteriorating condition, his faith never wavered. John is now at peace in his heavenly home.
Leaving to mourn his devoted wife, Lana, his children Jonathan (Ashley Reid) and Samantha (Steve Follett) and his treasured grandchildren, Jude Cribb, Margot Cribb and Eleanor Follett. He is also survived by his loving mother, Eva Cribb and siblings, Ches Cribb (Barb), Sharon Kelly (Tony) and Murray Cribb (Mavis), as well as his mother-in-law, Marion Hiscock and brother and sister-in-law, Fraser and Yvonne Hiscock, as well as many cherished friends.
John’s gentle spirit and positive nature will surely be missed, though certainly not forgotten.
