Obituary of John Abray

After a courageous battle, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Norman Abray, of London, on October 4th, 2017 at the age of 49.  With his best friend and loving partner, and his family by his side, he was able to peacefully ride on. He will be sorely missed by his life partner Joanne Saint. Cherished son of Marianne Abray (nee Durrant).  Predeceased by his father, William H. Abray and step-mother Marjorie (nee Clark) and step-father Cedric Anning.  His son, Tyler John Abray, and grandson, Marshall, made him so proud every day and were the light of his life.  He will be greatly missed by his sisters Laura (& John) Gillespie and Kelly (& Mark) Kennedy along with his niece, Sarah, and nephews, Joseph & Matthew.  Also survived by Joanne's mother, Jeanette Saint, her brothers Jonathan (&Kissha), Daniel (&Jessie) as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Johnnie was a man who loved working hard, but made time for his friends, as well as a round of golf whenever possible. Getting out to ride his Harley with Joanne was something that gave him great pleasure. He smiled with a twinkle in his eye and he touched our hearts even if it was a time too short



Friends will be received at the Elliott Madill Funeral Home in Mount Brydges on Tuesday, October 10th, 2017, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in lieu of flowers would be appreciated by the family
