It is with great sadness the McCuaig Family announces the sudden passing of a beloved son, husband, father, brother, grandfather, and dear friend John Wayne McCuaig on January 21, 2020.
Cherished husband and soul mate of Olenka, much loved father and best friend to his children – Stephan (Ashley & his first grandson Kayden), Christian and Ava Jade.
Loved endlessly by his loving parents Gayle and Wyne McCuaig from Sault Ste Marie Ont. Big brother to William “Billie” , wife Franca, children Tristan, Tianna and Aurora, and sister Brandi, husband Timothy Guay and children Jersie and Jevan.
Beloved in-laws Father Walter and Maria Krivoglavyi. Sister-in-law Dzvena (Ash), and Yrena (husband Stephen children Ethan and Olessa).
Special family friend Irene and Roger Carlson. Extended family members: Hans Naumann (Joanne), Stacey & family, Nathan & family, his aunts and uncles Terri Andrews and family, Cheryl Manchulenko and family, Daryl (Bruce Keen and family), Marianne Naumann and family, Dwight Naumann and family and Eugene Naumann [ (late), Annie and family)]. And all Johns friends and employees too many to mention.
John was the most open, caring and friendly young man, willing to lend a helping hand to everyone he met. As the owner of Overtime Sports and Collectables, John had mentored and was admired by all of his staff.
John loved to garden, puttered around his yard, building things and always thinking of new adventures and things to do. He loved family get-togethers where he could show off his BBQing skills and he especially loved having kids come and visit to swim at Egg Lake.
John taught himself how to do so many things, laying hardwood flooring, ceramic tiling, painting, welding, lime stone and steel fence around his property, solar energy just to name a few things. He was a natural botanist of his own learning.
John was an incredible, selfless man who will be profoundly missed and loved forever.
