It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden passing of John Norman Brander on Wednesday, January 26 2022.

He will be truly missed by his family. John is survived by his wife Maggie Brander, his stepdaughter Shelley Bareham and his son-in-law Dean Bareham. He is also survived by several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

John was a devoted and loving husband and father. He was a man of integrity and strong conviction. He had a loving and generous heart and if you knew him, you loved him, just ask his constant companion and best buddy, Joey. John was a "Friend of Bill's" for 40 years and was a shining example of a life of sobriety. Quiet, thoughtful, and always helpful, John was a man of few words and preferred to be of service to others behind the scenes. Nothing will ever replace you, my Dear Johnnie. I love you with all of my heart.

There will be a Celebration of Life at John and Maggie's home on Saturday, February 26, 2022, between 1:00 – 4:30 PM. If you wish to attend, please call or text Larra at 403-807-6872, to book a time.

In loving memory of a wonderful husband, father, and friend.
