John Earl Wynands Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on November 14, 2025 we had to say goodbye to John Earl Wynands (Ottawa, Ontario), born in Montréal, Québec. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid adieu to John Earl's earthly form, let us not dwell on the void left in his wake, but rather celebrate the legacy of love and inspiration John Earl has bequeathed us. For though he may have departed from our sight, his spirit remains a timeless beacon, guiding loved ones through the labyrinth of life's journey.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Jack and Mary Jane; and his siblings, Ruth and Ross. He is survived by: his wife Mary Elizabeth Grant. He is also survived by his six children, 13 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.
