John Drzimotta
1959 – 2022
After hundreds of flights between mine sites around the world and homebase, Johnny passed away aboard a flight between destinations, at the age of 62 years.
Left to mourn the loss of the best Dad jokes ever are his wife, Lorraine; their children, Daniel Drzimotta (Sonja Ridic-Drzimotta), Logan Drzimotta (Keri Grottenberg), Brenna Drzimotta (Shea Cameron); honourary children, Lindsay (Garreth) Haberstock; the newest decorations on the Christmas tree, grandchildren, Penny (Logan and Kerri’s) and Aleksandar (Daniel and Sonja’s); brother, as well as his niece, Stephanie.
John was predeceased by his mother, Gertrude; father, Walter; sister, Sonja; brother, Wally and the very many furry critters that had the privilege of residing lovingly in the Drzimotta household throughout the years.
Also mourning are the many connections throughout the mining community here in Canada and abroad. First and foremost, our Cassiar, B.C. family, Tanzania, Mexico, South America, many mines throughout B.C. and Canada and that last flight from Baffinland Iron Mines. John held many positions starting from truck driver to Manager of Mining Operations throughout his career and was known for bringing many projects into full mining production, often beyons their targets. He will be greatly missed by many mining colleagues.
Details for the celebration of John’s life will be announced once confirmed.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of John Drzimotta 1959 2022..
Death notice for the town of: Medicine-Hat, Province: Alberta
