It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Clyde Dyer of Kamloops, BC, on April 11th, 2014, at 55 years of age. He is survived by his wife, Rhonda, of 29 years, as well as children Ken (Becca) Dyer of Port Hardy, Alicia (Joel) Holm of St. Albert, and Stephen Dyer of Kamloops. Also left to cherish John’s memory are grandchildren Aliyah, Ava, Ella, Baby Ty (who has yet to arrive), Zaia, John, and Hailey, as well as mother-in-law Sherry Forman, brother Reg (Lorrie), and sisters Marlene (Barry), Maddy (Dale) and Joanne (Erick), as well as numerous other nieces and nephews.
John is predeceased by his father, Ken, mother, Louisa, father-in-law Ken Forman, and special friend Jock Copeland.
The world lost an amazing man on April 11th, 2014 after a long, painful, but courageous battle with cancer. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and uncle. He loved his two little dogs, Maggie and Minnie (his “babies”, he called them). They miss him terribly.
He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, soul mate and best friend of 29 years, Rhonda. John leaves behind three children, and six grandchildren, one due in May, all of whom he loved so very much. He cherished his time with them all.
John loved the outdoors, where he enjoyed hunting, fishing and gold panning. He had a very special relationship with his brother, Reg, and wife, Lorrie. A lot of good memories were made together by the four of us. We are now down to three; he will be forever in our hearts.
John also enjoyed time with his in-laws: Ken, his father-in-law, and he loved fishing together; Jock & he loved hunting and fishing; his mother-in-law, Sherry, who he loved for her sharp tongue, and tell-it-like-it-is attitude; and Louie, his brother-in-law, who was always there for a laugh and fresh seafood.
John will be remembered for his sense of humour, love of the outdorrs and devotion to his family. The people closest to him, he loved deeply and passionately. He will be greatly missed.
“forever in our hearts”
A Celebration of John’s Life will be held in Campbell River on August 9th, 2014.
