John Wentworth Swan
1951-2018
With appreciation for a life well-lived, the family of John
W. Swan, loving husband of C. Lynn (Barnaby) Swan, announces his
peaceful passing, which occurred on Monday, December 3, 2018 at the
Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Pugwash, NS on November 20,
1951, he was the son of the late John and Patricia (Ash)
Swan.
John will be remembered as a brilliant engineer, with a kind,
generous heart. He was well-loved and respected by the many friends
and colleagues he met during his journey. In his quiet faith, he found
great fulfillment in life, enjoying fishing, motorcycles, and above
all, time with his family.
In addition to his wife, Lynn Swan, of 43 years, John will be
missed by his sons, Dr. Jake Swan (Chrissy) and Dr. Daniel Swan
(Erin); his three cherished grandchildren, Alice, Jack and Elijah; a
brother, Peter Swan (Patti); his cousin, Sally Keller; as well as many
friends and extended family.
John’s family would like to express their sincere
gratitude to Doctors Harb, Reiman, Archer and Whelan; the staff of the
Moncton and Saint John Oncology units; and the staff of the palliative
care unit and emergency department at the SJRH for their care and
compassion.
