John Patrick Walsh

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Patrick Walsh on Wednesday October 16, 2024, after his battle with cancer. John was born on February 27, 1952, to Audrey and James in Kingston, Ontario.

John is missed so very much by his loving wife of ten years Diane and their dog Buddy.

John leaves behind his 2 sisters Sue (Mike), and Mary (Brad), his two brothers Dave (Lori), and Jamie (Vicky), and many nieces and nephews.

He will be fondly remembered by Kim (Jeff), Bruce, Wayne (Claudia), Martin, Debka, and Greg (Marg), and many grandchildren.

John will always be remembered as a very thoughtful, caring and a very kind man. He loved to talk to anyone who would listen and never forgot anyone’s birthday or special event.

All though John is not from Novar, he moved here from Kingston 12 years ago. He fell in love with its beauty, its people, and made it his new home.

We want to say a special thank you to the Canadian Cancer Society who was there for every step along the way. John met some extra ordinary people that made his life just a bit easier and more bearable. Thank you with all our hearts, John is now at peace.

Thank you so much to Billingsley Funeral Home, especially to Jordan and Donna who were there (at all times) to answer any question that we might have had. It made this part of John’s journey endurable. Your kindness is very much appreciated.

We will be having a celebration of life on John’s birthday February 27, 2025. Times for the service will be updated closer to the date.
