SYLVESTERVICH, John Sylvestervich - December 2, 1937 – September 24, 2024

John passed away peacefully at home, following a lengthy battle with cancer. Predeceased by his parents, Anna (née Kawchuk) & John Sylvestervich Sr., John leaves behind the love of his life, Gail (née Williams), his children, Andrea (Robert), Paul (Dorota) and Krista (Jason), and his much loved grandchildren, Heather, Daphne, Jonathan, Liam and Tegan.

Born in Val d’Or, Quebec, John moved with his parents to Ontario, where they lived in various farming communities. Following his graduation from McMaster University, John commenced his teaching career at Henry St. high school, where he met his wife, Gail. A passionate educator, John made a positive impact on so many lives through his teaching, his work as a Vice-Principal, and later Principal, and as a champion for using new technologies in education. His love of computers was life-long, and he was always happy to help anyone in need of his expertise. John was a very active member of Faith United Church, and spent many years sharing his time and talents there. His last few years were spent caring for his wife, Gail, and enjoying time with his family.

The family would like to express their appreciation to John’s care team, who helped so much during his cancer journey.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to the Canadian Cancer Society, or Faith United Church (Courtice), or the charity of your choice.

A funeral service will be held at Faith United Church, 1778 Nash Rd., Courtice, on Wednesday, October 2, 2024. Visitation will be from 12:30-1:30pm, with the funeral at 1:30pm, and a reception to follow.
