My deepest condolences to John’s family. John was my co-worker who I considered a friend as well, and truly a gem. He was an absolute pleasure to work with—someone who taught me so much, always had my back, and brought so many laughs along the way. I’m still in great disbelief that he’s gone. The world truly won’t be the same without him in it.- Posted by: Mary Simard (Co-Worker/Friend) on: Feb 01, 2026

What a beautiful story put together so those of us that did not know him as a boy and young man we got a small glimpse of this beautiful soul, our deepest condolences to the Harding Family.

Everyone should have a best friend like John. I hope with all of my heart that he knew what he meant to me.

Our Condolences to John's family.

My condolenses to John's Family, he will be sadly missed! I had the pleasure of serving John in HVAC industry for almost 20 years. We had lots of fun laughs about his Packers & my Cowboys! I will truely miss those and other conversations until we meet again one day my friend!

My nephew, Johnny and I had a great visit while being in Puerto Vallarta Mexico

I will always treasure those moments that we did get to spend together whether in Winnipeg and ortion

You will always have a place in my heart

Heart felt condolences to John, Doris, Karolyn, Jodie, Jordyn and the rest of the family on your tragic loss.

The last time we spoke at Jodie's birthday will be a forever memory for me. The ease with which we talked and shared amazed me. I wish we could have had more of those conversations.

We didn't see eye to eye very often all those years go did we? But you were, and always will be one of "my kids", and I will truly miss you.

Wherever you are, and whatever you are up to, you know what you need to have/remember. Snoopy still has his. (Don't roll your eyes at me!)🙄

Much love.

Jonny, thank you for all the laughs and unforgettable good times. Those memories will always mean so much. Please watch over me and the girls Rest easy. Until we meet again 💜

My nephew Johnny and I were building a new relationship in the last 5 years. We always enjoyed each others company. I had the privilege of being Johnny's roomie for his 2 week holiday and devastating ending. Cheers with our Mudslides Johnny. Forever greatful You will always have a place in my heart.

John and Doris, I'm sending my deepest condolences to both of you and you're whole family. 🤍

Thinking of you during this difficult time

Condolences

We just met this year not to long after me and Marina had started seeing each other and I could just feel that you were unsure about me

Probably thinking who's this tattoed up kid with all these tattoos lol

But the lunches and dinners we spent together talked a bit more and more, I enjoyed those talks with you

Your grandson is always going to know who his grandpa John was

Hey Jr.. (Ya I know buddy dont call you that)

Its only been a short time I've known you, but damn you were my guy... You completely made me a better person by knowing you, love you for that brother.

Going to miss Hanging out from 8pm to 10 am drinking the Captin some Gibsons, with a few shots of Sambuca, listening to some killer music.

It was a wonderful thing the way you and Liam (my son) hit it off and you made him feel apart of the group, We were all looking forward to Camping this Summer Liam keeps telling me to Remind Johnny we got some plans..

He was looking forward for you to get in his truck and go for Cruise.

I cant wait to see you again Jr..

Liam says Good bye he will miss you.

I say let's grab a few shots another day upstairs and shit talk every one we know.

I will truly miss you and it was great getting to know you.

I truly Loved you Brother

Hey Johnboy

Losing you has left a huge whole in my life. You were not only my little brother, you were also my strength and my best friend. We shared so many of the same qualities; our dark sense of humor, sarcasm and our genuine hearts. I was always the softie and you more about the shock value.

Thank you for being my friend and always being the one I could count on. Im going to miss our talks and your advice. No matter how messy life got I knew you were always in my corner.

You need to know how proud I am of the man and father you became. You always had a heart of gold.

I will miss your voice and your presence. But I'll always carry your memory forever. Thank you for being my brother.

This is not Goodbye. But I'll see you later. I love you.

Kar

I know that I'm 27, and a parent myself now, but the person grieving you will always be a little girl whose favourite person in the whole wide world is her daddy. I have never needed you more than I do right now.

I love you dad.

To my parents and big sister Kar,

my heart breaks for all of you and the sudden, unexpected loss of your son and our little brother John. Stay gentle and kind to yourselves as you navigate your journey through grief and the unspoken devastation, the silence, the indescribable numbing pain that takes your breath away. We will always be a family of five. Our amazing brother was more of a super hero and friend. Never, could I have imagined having the loss of a child in common with my parents. Fly above the stars JohnBoy. Until we meet again. Absolutely heartbroken to kiss your forehead and say goodbye way too soon. I promise to take care of everyone while you are gone. You are loved more than words. You got this brave brother.

To My Precious Amazing Son John . Farmer , 45 years with you is simply not enough and I never dreamt I ,would be here to live without you, sadly , not a choice either of us made. I will love and miss you for as long as I live , Now , forever a broken Ma. May Heaven be pain free for you Hun. Sending HUGS to HEAVEN for My One and Only FARMER , Love U ❤️
