Rest In Peace John Savage

John Richard Savage passed away suddenly at his residence on Monday, August 26th, 2024 at the age of 70.


John dedicated his life to service; to his family, to the military, and to the Masons. He is predeceased by his former wife, Shelley, who is survived by their daughter Brooke (TJ) and grandchildren Poppy and Ellie. He will be dearly remembered by his second wife Toni, and their children Benjamin (Victoria), Brynn, and Kylie.


He was a beloved brother of the late Patricia (survived by Bob), late Glenn (survived by Jude), Colleen (Steve), Robert (Helen), and Kathy (Fabian).


He was a cherished uncle, cousin, and friend to many. As a PERI in the armed forces, as a Past Master of the Coronation Masonic Lodge #466, and as a long time president of the Elmvale Maple Syrup Festival, he made a large impact on his community.
