elevated 47tHT Obituary
In loving memory of John Faria, who passed away on Thursday, May 16th, 2024 at the age of 67. John was a cherished husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. He found solace and joy in the simple pleasures of life, surrounded by his beloved family and friends. His unwavering love for his wife Ema of 47 years, his children Amie (Jeffrey) and Jonathan (Samantha), his grandchildren Leah and Paisley, his sister Maria (Manuel), nephew Joe and niece Rosemary defined his whole existence.
elevated 47tHT John was happiest beneath the canopy of his cherished maple tree on his farm, where he would often retreat to find peace and tranquility. A man of the outdoors, he reveled in the beauty of nature, from the simple task of tending to his garden or cutting the grass.
elevated 47tHT John’s legacy is not only in the memories he leaves behind but also in the love he shared and the lives he touched. His presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
elevated 47tHT As we bid farewell to John, let us carry forward his spirit of love, kindness, resilience, and appreciation for all that life has to offer. May his memory be a source of comfort and inspiration to us all.
