It is with heavy hearts the family of John Maxwell Henderson, announce his unexpected passing on February 18 due to natural causes. John was born May 5, 1959 in St. Stephen, NB, son of Max and Janice (nee Clark) Henderson who are still residing in Campbellton.
John was in the last graduating class of Restigouche Senior High School in 1977. He continued his education at Mount Allison University graduating with a Bachelor of Science.

He spent most of his working career with the department of Natural Resources in Fredericton. John always liked to be busy. As a teenager he built a log cabin behind his parents cottage in Quebec. He renovated the cottage in Shediac, and worked extensively on his home and sailboat in Fredericton. John loved animals especially Golden Retrievers. Chipper was his first golden, then Tucker and currently Ella. He loved his goldens and they all loved him back even more. John always welcomed his friends with open arms. He enjoyed weekend getaways at the cottage in the summer or pot luck dinners in the winter after a day of skiing. John had a lot of interests. He loved to run 10 km marathons, Tai Kwon Do, skiing, kayaking, and of course photography, which many of his friends have hanging on their walls.
