John Richard Kirby

(1961-2015) It is with great sadness that the family of John Richard (Jabba) Kirby announces his sudden passing on January 22, 2015 in Erbil, Kurdistan, Iraq. John was born and raised in England, but planted roots in Canada as a young man while continuing to work and form bonds and friendships throughout the world. Predeceased by his father, Edwin Kirby, John will be forever cherished and missed by his mother, Amy Kirby (Wakefield, England), his life partner Beulah Jesso and her three children; Jonah, Gabrielle and Victoria Keough (Portugal Cove-St. Phillips), "the guys" at the shooting range (Complete Gun Repairs, St. John's) and his friends and colleagues at RPS Energy (UK). John will also be lovingly remembered by a large network of friends and co-workers spanning all continents. Heartfelt appreciation is extended to everyone who has supported us since John's death. Eternal gratitude is extended to Wayne, Vi and Dave of RPS energy and Janet Adams. For John's friends and colleagues helping out with the affairs in Iraq, we will be forever thankful. Cremation has taken place. Friends and colleagues may visit the family at Carnell's Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road on Sunday March 1, 2015 from 7-9 pm. Donations in his memory may be made to The SPCA. To send a message of condolence or to sign the memorial guestbook please visit www.carnells.com.
