BAYS, John William Bays
June 26, 1952 - January 28, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Bays, age 72, who died peacefully at Princess Margaret Hospital on Tuesday, January 28th. Over the past three years, John faced his illness with strength and determination.
John was the beloved husband of Nancy; loving father of Lindsay (Ben), Tara (Jamie), and Jennifer (Kris); proud “OG” of Adelyn and Zoe; and dear brother of Dave (Betty Ann), Gord (Mel), and Lori (Bob).
John had a long and fulfilling career as a teacher, spending the majority of his years at R.S. McLaughlin C.V.I. in Oshawa. He had a passion for all sports, was a dedicated coach, and could always be found on the golf course.
A special thank you to the staff at Princess Margaret Hospital for their compassionate care.
