John Bronson
In loving memory, the Bronson family announces the death of John Gordon Bronson, of Port Stanley, ON, a beloved brother, husband, father, grandfather, and uncle. John was 84 years old, having been born in Beebe QC, to hard working and loving parents, John and Evelyn Bronson. He was a loyal and caring brother to Aubrey, Clarence, Shirley, Betty, and Vera. In 1960 John married his sweetheart, Gladys Haight and together, they raised a family of five children, John Bronson Jr. (Ann), Tom Bronson (Wendy), Tammy Black (Ross), David Bronson (Andrea) and Randy Bronson (Jackie). During their 62 years of marriage, they became the proud grandparents to Cory, Dustin, Shawn, Sherry, Esther, Chloe, Tanya, Kurtis, Monika, and Tristan, and great-grandparents to Liam, Loic, Tanner, Tenyson, and Emma.
John loved learning new things and as a result became a self-taught musician, carpenter, mechanic, and sailor. From designing a unique prototype for a more efficient gas engine, composing original music and lyrics, building a log cabin home for his family from trees he felled himself, and constructing a sailboat he could sail alone, he had an impressive mind that could imagine, engineer, and create. Despite sight limitations since childhood, he had a love of life and a fearlessness that embraced travel, adventure, and ingenuity. He enjoyed sharing his faith, his gift of music, and the stories of his life with others.
Deeply bothered by injustice and heartache in the world, as a young man, John searched for answers to life’s big questions about human suffering and death. His search led him to find satisfying answers and a hope for the future in the message of the Bible. He died peacefully, with unbreakable faith that he will be remembered by our creator, Jehovah God, and that soon, he and millions of others will be given a chance to live again, in perfect health, on a beautifully restored paradise earth, reunited with his family and friends. An online memorial service will be held on January 22, 2022, at 2 p.m. EST. Williams Funeral Home, 45 Elgin St., St. Thomas in charge of arrangements.
