John Brian Bates, of Sydney, passed away Friday, Oct. 31, 2014, at the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Alta.

John Brian was predeceased by his Momma, Linda Diane Bates, sister, Jaime Marie Elizabeth, grandfathers, Harold Bates and Owen Sheppard and uncles, Shawn and Paul Sheppard.
John Brian loved his children and family more than anything. His pride and joy were his children and he couldn’t be any prouder of his son, Jarrad. He will be sadly missed by his family, extended family, friends, co-workers and all his brothers in the “Pit Crew”. John Brian enjoyed fishing, hockey, refereeing and baseball and loved his job with Westoilfield in Alberta. He was always smiling and his laughter was contagious and could brighten any room.
Funeral service will be held at St. Alban’s Anglican Church, Whitney Pier on Friday 11 a. m., with Archdeacon Brenda Drake officiating. Interment in Resurrection Cemetery, with his Momma.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in John Brian’s memory to Sydney Minor Hockey or to the Whitney Pier Youth Boys and Girls Club.
