47 years of age, born July 22, 1964.

John played a significant role in his family, Church and the local farming community. 

Residing in Sorrento, BC for most of his life, he is survived there by the love of his life, Shauna, 3 sons Eric, Mathew, Joshua and daughter Samantha as well as his parents John and Wanda Kelder and siblings Deborah Jane, Pete & Jeanette

John lived his life by his faith and gained the respect and love of all who came to know him.

The proof of his character and faith is now being witnessed as the people he touched are now coming together to support his family during this tragic turn of events.

Thank you John, for living your faith with pride and grace and demonstrating with your life God’s amazing power in our world.
