With heavy hearts we regret to announce the sudden passing of John Thor Thorvaldson on July 3, 2020 at the age of 64.
He will be dearly missed by his wife Gail, stepson Mitchell (Amanda), daughter Samantha (Duane), and son, James (Jessica). Cherished grandfather to Kaden, Savannah, Oliver and Lady.
John is survived by his sister Janice (Lloyd) and brothers Gerald (Joyce) and Erik, mother-in-law Marlene, sisters-in-law Maxine (Brian), Laurie and Brenda (Rod). Numerous family and friends will miss his sparkling wit and vast knowledge of everything.
John was a man of many hats, but his main trade was as an electrician; John brought "light" into everyone’s lives as well as joy and relaxation at his RV park, Blue Water, in Pine Falls Manitoba. John loved to travel and was pleased to be able to see a lot of the world; escaping the cold of Winnipeg winters with Gail was a treasured luxury he enjoyed. John would get swooped away by Gail on trips with a destination he couldn’t remember, as there were often too many booked for him to keep track of! Known for his tilly hat and quiet smiles, John could have you in stitches with a dry witted comment at any time. John had an absolutely incredible vocabulary, the only word he didn’t know was “no”, his generosity knew no bounds and he provided to all he knew in abundance. John was extremely giving and helped many begin their careers in trades so that they could have the best chance in life possible. John will be very missed by all who knew him.
It’s not goodbye, it’s until we meet again. All of our love to you John. "Good today"
