In memory of

John Eric George Shreve

April 29, 1936 - February 17, 2025

Passed away at home with his loving wife by his side on Monday February 17, 2025, in his 89th year. But John liked to tell everyone he was 90 for the free stuff.

Beloved husband of Beverley for 62 years. Sadly, missed by his children Wade (Jennifer), Tanya (Kevin), and his granddaughter Brooke. Devoted friend of Dylan.

Survived by his sister Joan and predeceased by his brothers Edward (survived by Audrey) and Robert.
John worked as a material handler for Oshawa Public Utilities for over 30 years.

The Entertainer will be missed by extended family, and many friends.

Donations in memory of John can be made to The Heart & Stroke Foundation or Parkinson Canada.

I knew John for a short time over the past few months, however the number of laughs we had together are countless. I am grateful to have had John in my life. I will always remember his humour and mischieviousness with fondeness. My thoughts and well wishes go out to family and friends.
