It is with overwhelming sadness and shock that we announce the sudden passing of our brother Johannes « John » Cornelius Maria Machielsen on March 5, 2025.
Born on October 13, 1956, and raised in Antigonish, NS, John attended Antigonish Regional High School before leaving home at the age of 16 to start working in Ontario. Throughout his life, John worked as a farmer, dedicating himself to a life of hard work and simplicity. He believed in the value of perseverance, honesty, and lending a helping hand to those in need.
John led a modest life, finding the greatest joy in the company of his family; he especially loved his nieces and nephews. He enjoyed every moment spent with them. He cherished the time he spent with his brother Casey, making maple syrup and was fortunate to have had his last day with him doing something he loved.
He was an avid fan of the Buffalo Bills, Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Blue Jays. He had a witty, dry sense of humour that will be missed by all those who knew him.
John is survived by his siblings Casey (Donna) in Singhampton, ON, Mini Machielsen-Sullivan in Antigonish, NS, Jack (Barb) in St. Andrews, NS, Adriana in Ottawa, ON, Joanne (Kevin) Sponagle in Ashdale, NS, Elizabeth MacMillan in Antigonish, NS, Anna (Bob) Crocker in Winnipeg, MB, Martin (Annette) in Antigonish, NS and Henrie in Campbell River, BC. He was predeceased by his parents Adrian and Jeannette, his brother Reynold and nephew Edward “Teddy”. He will be remembered by many nieces and nephews.
The family wishes to extend thanks to John’s neighbour for being such a good friend over the years.
John’s spirit will live on through the many lives he touched with his generosity, humility, and love. Though he is no longer with us, his memory will forever remain in our hearts.
As per his wishes cremation has taken place and no formal services will be held. A celebration of John’s life for immediate family will be held at a later date.
