Anthony John Gribben

It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the sudden passing of Anthony John Gribben at the young age of 27 by an asthma attack. Johnny was known by everyone as a kind and gentle soul with a big heart. His last moments alive were joyously spent riding his bike in good company, with a smile across his face.

Johnny enjoyed playing sports starting with soccer from a young age to martial arts as an adult. He was very intelligent, spiritual and curious; always seeking life's answers, reading various books from philosophy to science.

He was predeceased by his grandparents. He leaves behind his loving parents John and Millie, his older sisters Rita and Mellisa, as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Our family would like to extend our gratitude to the cadets and paramedics who did everything they could to revive him.

A very special thank you to Zachary Uminski. You have been his best friend his whole life and you were there for him until the end. Words cannot express how much you mean to Johnny and our family.

A celebration of Johnny's life will be held on Tuesday, June 16 at 10:00 am at Thomson "In the Park" Funeral Home, 1291 McGillivray Blvd.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the charity of your choice.
