Jon Reimer

Saturday, December 28, 2024

We regret to announce the passing of Jon Reimer, on Saturday, December 28, 2024, at the age of 90 years, at North Centennial Manor. Born in Reesor, Jon was incredibly proud of his Mennonite heritage.

Jon was most well-known as a hairdresser in the community, first as the owner of Jon’s Hair Salon, then as part-owner of Beauty Boulevard. At the age of 58, after a 30-year career as a hairdresser, Jon traveled to Florida to train as a massage therapist. He continued working until the age of 78 in their home at Remi Lake, where he also hosted happy hour many afternoons. He especially enjoyed his early morning walks around the peninsula.

Jon is survived by his three daughters: Sheila Bennici-Clendinnen (Joseph) of Winnipeg, Rhonda Reimer of Sudbury, and Beverly Keating (Daniel) of Kapuskasing; his sisters Wanda Jones and Lydia Dietrich, both of Es, and his sister-in-law Bonny Reimer of Kingsville. He was the proud Opa of seven grandchildren: Robin, Elizabeth (Rahulan), Emma (Antonio), Sam, Mary (Eric), Jane, and Adam (Kelsy); and six great-grandchildren: Evelyn, Layla, Luca, Anna, Benjamin, and Wyatt.

Jon was predeceased by his loving wife, Barbara; his parents, Herman and Helen Reimer; his brothers, Vernon Reimer and Henry Reimer; as well as his two brothers-in-law, Bill Jones and Murray Dietrich.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. The family would greatly appreciate donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Alzheimer Society, as expressions of sympathy.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Guenette Funeral Home in Kapuskasing. For more details, please visit Jon Reimer's memorial page.
