Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJOHN DEVERDENNE
John left us peacefully on June 9, 2026 after a courageous battle with pneumonia. He was dearly loved by his wife Cheryl, daughter Deanna and her husband Steve and their children, Sheldon and Kendall, and daughter Tammy and her husband Dave. We are all so grateful to him for his help and support always.
John worked very hard all his life but always took time to enjoy his adventures traveling the world. From riding camels in the Sahara, climbing mountains in Peru, traveling by ox cart to temples in Cambodia, exploring ancient tombs in Egypt to luxury cruises - he loved it all.
Those who knew John will remember him as a loyal friend. We, his family, will miss him and hold his memory in our hearts forever.
At John's request, there will be no service and in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of choice.

It will be 60 years this fall that my late wife Shirley and I along with our infant son Eric moved into an apartment on Wardlaw Ave. At the time we were fortunate enough to meet wonderful neighbours. John, Cheryl and their infant daughter Deanna. I liked John right from the start. He always seemed to be pursuing some new interest and let me join in. Turning their kitchen into a makeshift darkroom or for some strange reason colouring light bulbs. I did find out that he didn’t like mice, dead or alive. I think he took great pleasure tapping on the radiator (at appropriate times) to remind us that our bedroom was directly above theirs. Over the years our lives went in different directions, but somehow we managed to stay in touch. Even if it was a number of years, John always greeted us as if we had just been chatting earlier in the day, so laid back. A great friend and just a marvellous person. I will truly miss you my friend. - Posted by: Clay Woolliscroft (Friend) on: Jun 13, 2026
