April 16, 1953 - April 11, 2016
With great sadness and sorrow we announce that John "Bubba" Federau has passed away peacefully in the comfort of his family and friends after an
unexpected illness. We know that he has influenced many people in his life
and was an incredible and inspirational father to his two sons, James and
Jason Federau. He is survived by his siblings Margret, Lorie, Betty, Henry
and Edith. Predeceased by his parents Oma (Sarah) and Opa (John) Federau, wife Jackie and sister Agnes.
Bubba grew up in Vancouver and attended John Oliver High School. He started his career stuccoing houses before he began dry walling which he later continued on the Sunshine Coast.
He was generous and warm and helped out any where he could whether it was a place to stay, someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on. He was always happy and always had a good joke to tell. He loved to golf and hosted the "Bubba Open" golf tournament with his close friends for several years. He spent many weekends fishing and living the good life away from the city, before moving to Garden Bay in 2000. He enjoyed having a drink on his deck overlooking Garden Bay lake. Bubba loved to cook and always had more than enough food for whoever stopped by.
His upbeat nature and contagious laughs will truly be missed by all that
knew him.
A celebration of life will be held at the Community Hall on Sunday, May 1
from 2pm to 6pm.
