John Joseph Johnston
1971-2019
It is with great sadness that the family of the late John J. Johnston
announces his passing after a long battle with cancer on Sunday,
September 22, 2019.
John will be lovingly remembered and missed by his mother, Hazel
(Turner) Johnston and his siblings, Cindy, David, Gordon, Rosa and
Carrie. John will be forever remembered by his nieces, nephew, cousins
and friends. He was predeceased by his father, Hazen Johnston; sister,
Susan G. Cook; grandparents and aunts and uncles.
John was born on July 7, 1971 in Blacks Harbour NB. He was raised in
Blacks Harbour from birth until the time of his passing. John attended
school in Blacks Harbour and then Fundy High in St. George NB. He
worked numerous jobs in his life, including the Boat Shop in
Tunaville, for the Village of Blacks Harbour and finally for Granite
Town Farms in St. George. John had many hobbies and interests. He was
most known for his wood & glass work and did beautiful sketches
and drawings. John lived a quiet and peaceful life and he was gentle
and kind to everyone he met. John’s number one love was his truck and
the house he started building almost 10 years ago. Unfortunately, John
was not able to finish his dream home before his passing. John will
always be remembered as a fighter. He was diagnosed four years ago
with Lung Cancer and after surgery he went through a chemo regime. As
the cancer continued to spread, John continued his fight. He never
complained and fought hard with a smile on his face. John loved his
family and the life he had made and near the end, he found great
comfort in God. His smile, helping hand and care for others will be
missed greatly by everyone who knew him.

Live life with peace and love.

Tomorrow is another day, live today with no regrets.
