Throughout his life, he embraced the art of fixing and tinkering, possessing an unmatched ability to repair anything that crossed his path. In his younger years, he found solace in the great outdoors, indulging in the joys of fishing and hunting. However, as the years advanced, his undivided devotion was bestowed upon his beloved wife, Elizabeth "Lib".

John's professional journey spanned 28 years, during which he served as an electrician at Kimberly Clark. His dedication and expertise left an indelible mark on the company and the countless lives he touched through his skillful work.

Beyond his professional achievements, John cherished his role as a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He is survived by his loving wife, Elizabeth "Lib", and their children Darren (Terrilea), Wade (Darren), Crystal (Lawrence), and Tanya. His memory will continue to be treasured by his grandchildren Courtney (Mike), Cassidy (Chris), Colton (Mariah), Chloe , Cael, Cameryn, and great-grandchildren Claire and Violet. John's sister, Harriet Hennessey, also shares in the sorrow of his passing.

John was preceded in death by his father, John Henry McLean, his mother, Ida Mae Jobe, his sisters Buelah Rushton, Verna Keiver, Helen Connors, his brothers Weldon Rushton, Llewelyn Rushton, Garland Rushton, and his grandson Terren McLean. Their memories will forever be intertwined with his own.

In honoring John's wishes, there will not be a formal service to commemorate his life. However, his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Alzheimer's Society of Canada, allowing John's legacy to contribute to the advancement of research and support for those affected by this devastating disease.

During this challenging time, the family finds solace in the outpouring of condolences and support. They extend their deepest gratitude for your kind thoughts and prayers.
