We find it important to share with everyone just a few things about a great man...with a huge personality! John could make you belly laugh like nobody else.  This wonderful man was a beloved Son, a loving Brother, a cherished Father, devoted Grandfather a funloving Uncle, adoring Nephew, mischievous Cousin and loyal Friend! This man, taken way too soon from our lives was...

"John Edward Dempster".

John moved out to Kamloops, British Columbia in November of 2021 to start fresh and build a new life for himself. He was loving his new job and the beautiful Province of British Columbia. He was so excited to have his Family come out to visit him. John had a great sense of humour, very witty and he loved to read books. He attended Culinary School because of his love for food; and he was an incredible chef.

It was with incredibly heavy hearts, that we had to give the horrible news to everyone who loved him that he had passed away.

Friday evening John was found unresponsive in the street, outside the doors of a neighboring church. Although he called 911 for help, first responders could not save him.

• We are kindly asking for any help you may have to give...nothing is too small to help his Mother travel to B.C (to identify and make arrangements) and with the high costs involved for the funeral expenses to bring John home to Toronto where his life can be celebrated and laid to rest peacefully with all his family and friends present.

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. There are no words to project our sincere gratitude. 

The Dempster/Meredith Family...Especially Darlene (Mom), Susan, Jaime, Ryan and John's children Casey, Emma, Ryker and Māra and grandson Sawyer
