My deepest sympathy to you Tania and family on the sudden passing of your husband and father. May time and memories heal your heart.

John, I only met you 3 times over a 2 week period. You and your family will stay in my thoughts forever. My visit to Canada from Australia is so very memorable. Thank you for being part of it. 🙏

John was working in the Community Services Unit when I joined the Service as a civilian member in 2014. I was very uncertain about working with police, especially since, as a gay man, not all my interactions with police were positive growing up in Toronto. John was an amazing mentor, friend, and ally. He always had my back and was quick with a smile or laugh. He was always happy to talk about his family which he did with love, respect and pride!

My role was to enhance community relations and quickly learned this was a huge passion of John's. He was an awesome human being and I will never forget his kindness and dedication to community service. 

My deep condolences to his family and friends.

We are so profoundly saddened and offer our deepest condolences to Tania, Ella and the entire Earle family for the loss of Johnny. 
We hold on dearly to memories of John during an Earle gathering , or a 
Torrie and Jen house move with painting party! His laugh was infectious. His adoration for his family profound, and obvious to anyone. He was a kind, generous man who we looked forward to seeing on any occasion.
Our hearts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time and hope you hold on to the knowledge that he was greatly thought of and will be deeply missed by so many.

Dan, Andrea, Amy Keating. Cory and Mary Morton

Thinking and praying for you, Tania, Ella, and your friends and family
Love janice, mark, neil, and scott davis

Tania and Ella, there are no words only that my heart breaks for you both. I’m so sorry my deepest condolences, John was a gem, gone to soon. I’m so sorry, my thoughts are with you Tania and Ella,  the Macleod, Earle, Astrom and extended families at this time.

My condolences to Tania on the loss of your partner, husband and friend. God be with you and your family during this time, and forever.

It is with heavy heart to see such a fine man & shining star leave us. We met & knew John from our college days and even back then were drawn to his kind, courtesy & friendly way in which he carried himself. These will be hard days ahead without him, but we trust you will all carry his legacy forward, celebrate a good life lived and cherish the fond memories left behind. May he rest in peace.
Warmest condolences,
David & Jennifer MacLeod & Family

I had the pleasure of working with John for many years. He always had a smile on his face and was a "glass half full" type of guy. A true professional with a great sense of humour, who was dedicated to his community.

Tania and Ella,
I´m so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of John. I had the pleasure of working with John during his career while on platoon and later when he served as a member of the Community Services Unit. John always wore his uniform with pride and was one of the most caring, compassionate, respectful and responsible people I ever worked with. John was a true professional and went that extra mile to make our community a better place to live, work and play. Rest In Peace my friend, you will be missed.

Drug Awareness Week event. All local high schools participated (even during a teacher strike). We worked with reps from every high school and Fleming Police Foundations student - pictured here. 

I entered us in the first ever PPS Pride Parade float. John was 'all in' in support of this event. The theme was 'No h-8'. John drove the float. (PC Janssen, PC Jank, PC Ralph and 4 SSFC volunteers).

Police Week at Lansdowne Place with 2 high school placement students and PC Ralph. 

It was such a pleasure to know and work with John. We were a good team. Although he was dedicated to his work as an officer, his dedication to Tanya and Ella superseded all. He spoke with love and admiration for the women in his life. I will remember him fondly. My condolences to his family. Lynne Buehler, Inspector, Retired. 

I picked 5 photos I thought you may not have. These photos are all from Community Services, where we worked together for several years. John was made for Community Services: open, welcoming, kind, friendly, empathetic, dedicated, ethical. It was a pleasure to work with him on so many projects. John was excited to develop and run events. He worked hard, and knew so many friends he could call upon to support a good cause. This photo is of a Patroller Bowling event. (PC Jank & PC Janssen)

Our hearts go out to the MacLeod Family. Although we only knew John briefly - we know from the many family stories how special he was. He will be sorely missed.
Our prayers and love are with each of you during this very difficult time.



I am sure there are very few words that can ease the sorrow the family and colleagues of John MacLeod are feeling. 
During the time he was granted, John lived a productive and fulfilling life.  John loved and and was loved.  His life had purpose, and I'd say his life and deeds are very worthy of celebration.  I offer my condolences to both his family and colleagues during this time of bereavement. 
I am sorry to learn of the premature, and sudden passing of John.

So sorry to hear of your brother's passing Janine, . Please accept our condolences to you and your family. So sad to lose a brother so young. May our prayers for your family comfort you at this difficult time.  God bless you all.  Uncle Heber and Aunt Barb

I had many interactions with John on calls when I was with the Fire Department. He was always the same; fair, courteous and respectful to all involved and he did it all with a smile. 
His family,the Police Service and all those that knew him have lost a real gem. 
 My condolences to family. 

My condolences to John's family. John was a wonderful classmate of mine at Fleming College in the early 90's. We worked together on group marketing projects and had lots of laughs. 

Tanya and Ella, we were heartbroken to hear about the loss of John.  Our deepest condolences to you and to your family.  With love, Alida Gorizzan, Dan Robinson and "Little" Ella.

So very sorry for your loss of John. He was a wonderful person and I have fond memories of him. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers at this time as you go through the grief journey. Xo

I met John many years ago when he and Tania invited me into their home to stay with Ella. Ella has been the most incredible friend a girl could ask for. I will miss John with all my heart and will cherish this picture forever. He treated me like his own daughter and for that I will be forever grateful❤️ Rest Easy John, thank you for everything 

I always felt a sense of joy when I saw John. We worked together often and spoke regularly about things with meaning. He didn’t have a bad word to say about anyone and in policing that was a refreshing change. His curiosity about life, love, and destiny was always insightful and he had a depth that truly made me believe he was an old soul. He cared so much about how everyone felt and his genuine compassion and vibe of kindness was always a bright spot in my day. There are very few men as raw and unafraid of their vulnerability as he was. It was an endearing quality and knowing him in this way made me a better man. I simply can’t covey the sadness I felt when I heard he had passed. The world has lost an angelic being who truly sacrificed for a greater good and stepped way outside of his comfort zone to put on a uniform and remain true to his intrinsic nature. To say he was rare is an understatement. I know that John (wearing two pairs of socks) and his father will be in number one dress watching over us all- especially his wife and daughter who were without a doubt the absolute loves of his life.
