John was a working family man. He enjoyed travelling and driving. He made a living being a truck driver most of his life in Calgary, Alberta and Winnipeg. He raised his children in Calgary. In later years John moved home to Hollow Water to work as a medical van driver and one term as a band councilor.
John had love and respect for elders and he always made time to visit them. He liked to joke and tease family and friends. Many will remember his smile and quick humor. He showed love to children, teenagers or anyone he met.
Pallbearers are Borden Moneyas, Justin Moneyas, Vincent Moneyas, Jonathon Marsden, Alvin Marsden, Skylar Moneyas and Lionel Moneyas.

Rest in Eternal Peace my dear handsome, kind and loving Uncle. You left a deep impression on the hearts of myself, Bim and our children and grandchildren. I know how much you missed Mama and you are now with her, along with my Mom and Uncle Oscar and your daddy, that you didn’t get a chance to meet, but I know you have met him by now in your new and ever lasting home. Love you dearly Uncle. Love from all of us Moneyas/Bjork family. Forever in our hearts you will remain.
Sincerest and deepest condolences to my dear Auntie Evelyn and his children, grandchildren and extended family and friends.
