It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our son, brother, uncle, nephew and cousin, John Wayne Landry on Nov. 28, 2015.
John Wayne was born in Halifax on April 14, 1973 to parents, John Landry and Carolyn Stone; he was the grandson of the late Charlie and Eva Stone of St. Peter's and the late Joseph and Mary Landry of Halifax.
John graduated from Riverview High in 1992. He was an avid music fan and enjoyed all genres of music. He was also a great fan of sports and was always on top of the latest sports news. His family and friends were very important to him and he always made the effort to keep in touch with his loved ones from his home in Alberta. Although he made Calgary his home, Cape Breton was very near and dear to his heart.
Besides his parents, John is survived by his brother, Aaron Landry and his sister, Carrie Anne Landry; his dear nieces, Breanna, Alberta, Beth, Emma and Eden Steele of Port Morien, many aunts, uncles and cousins. John will be sadly missed by his second family at the Trap and Gill in Calgary, where he worked.
His many friends are too numerous to mention, as he touched the heart of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His pure and beautiful soul has left a mark on us all and the world is a brighter place for his being a part of it. He always had a kind word and smile for everyone and treated all with dignity and respect. He was a true gentleman, a great man, and in the words of the late Ron Hynes, “a man of a thousand songs.”
Arrangements are being made by Martin Brothers in Lethbridge, Alta. and a Celebration of his Life will be held at a later date in Cape Breton.
"Go rest high on the mountain son for your work on earth is done."
