John Moore
September 24, 1955 – August 26, 2019
In loving memory of John Moore who passed away peacefully at his home in Wabauskang First Nation.
John was born in Dryden and raised in Eagle River by his parents Doris and Peter and maternal grandparents John and Cecilia (Jack) Indian.
John is survived by his wife Joanne and family; Michael, Marshall, Mackenzie, Donald, Jason, Sadie, Jude, Shylo, Sundance, Jeremy, Brandon, Tom (Dorothy), Patti (Clifford) and Dianne as well as many friends and extended family.
John was predeceased by his parents Doris and Peter and by Mary-Jane.
John loved his family. He was a fantastic father and grandfather and enjoyed spending time with them. He was so proud of his sons and was front row with a camera at all of their special events.
John would often be seen cleaning and thoroughly enjoyed hunting, watching tv and drinking beer, but was the happiest when he was out fishing. He was a guide at various tourist camps on Eagle Lake for over 30 years. He also worked for Wabauskang First Nation in Maintenance and then as a Medical Driver taking members of the community to their appointments.
John volunteered in the community quite often with various events. His cousin Tom would often be seen at his side helping with the cooking and other tasks. John gave back to his community as much as he could. He travelled a lot through his short time on this earth, met and made many new friends through his dearest and oldest friends and family.
Special thanks to the EMT, Community of Wabauskang, Leanne, Doug, Brian and Autumn for all your help.
