John Maurice Russell Reece
I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast, than I most humbly pray, When in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep, that in his mercy I be judged big enough to keep.
REECE, John Maurice Russell - With deep sadness we announce the sudden passing of our beloved spouse, father, son, brother and friend, John on Thursday April 25th, 2024 at the age of 45.
Devoted life partner and best friend to Tania for 10 years.
John was the most amazing father to his 3 children Megan, Aidan and Caleb as well as his step-son Liam and his ‘fur baby’ Bella.
He leaves to mourn his loving parents John and Marie Reece and will be sadly missed by Tania’s parents Sue and Gaetan Lagace.
Cherished brother to Lisa (Chris) Collee.
Special Uncle John to Nicole and his Goddaughter Allison, as well as Denym, Gaston, Evelyn and Theo.
Brother-in-law to Chantal (Aramis) and Ashley (Jon).
John will be missed by his aunt Laurie (Joe) Montovani as well as his cousins Tammy (Aaron) Farrell, Joe Montovani JR, and Valerie (Gord) Hudak.
Survived by his sister Michelle (Sam) Mattina and their children Jessica and Danielle.
Fondly remembered by Megan’s mom Julie and Aidan’s mom Jenna.
John’s children and his family were his world. In his free time he could be found on the dock fishing or playing cards with his friends. Of course he shared his love of fishing with his children where many memories were made.
