elevated w7fXm Obituary

elevated w7fXm It is with great sadness AND tremendous joy that we say goodbye to A. John Rourke who passed away peacefully at 6am on Wednesday October 21st at North York General Hospital from  heart failure. He is now in eternal paradise with Jesus and all the saints that have gone before him. Joining his siblings, Terry, Pat, Janet, Brian and Charles. Along with his parents John Spencer and Elinor. As well as his son, Sean. We know they are having one big Rourke Family Reunion! “Buagh”(Irish family motto meaning victory)!

elevated w7fXm John was the devoted husband to Dianne, beloved daddy to Stéphanie (Rob), Jennifer (Tom), Kelly (Gary), Sean (Fran), grandfather to Luke, Taylor, Karley, Dakota, Travis, Spencer and Alma-Sofia, uncle, brother and friend to many.

elevated w7fXm John will be desperately missed and deeply remembered for his ability to tell detailed stories, sense of adventure, love of music, tenderness and compassion. His quiet strength and sensitivity attracted many to want to be in his company.

elevated w7fXm There will be a family only celebration of life in November at Holy Cross Cemetery, Thornhill where John will be laid to rest near his son, Sean, who passed away in February 2020.
