John chose cremation and preferred to be remembered in a simple, genuine way—without formal services or public ceremonies. At some point, when it feels right, we’ll gather in a small and intimate way with those who knew and loved him. Something easy and natural, where memories can be shared and his presence felt. He always felt connected to places like Lake Mangonia, where he grew up—so we imagine something close to nature, in that spirit. There’s no set time for this. It will unfold when it feels right. In the meantime, you’re warmly invited to share a memory, a photo, or a few words here. The love remains.
