John Christopher Parsons

With great sadness, we announce Chris’s passing on April 17, 2026, at the age of 68, surrounded by his loving family.

Predeceased by his father, Jack Parsons, Chris will be sorely missed by his much-loved partner of many years Christine Patterson, his stepdaughters Courtney (Charlie) and Jessica (Francis), and their children Morgyn, Harper, and Max; his mother Georgia “Jo” Parsons, brother Doug (Aileen), and sister Marnie, and nieces Sarah and Rachel; his “second” family—the Milkins clan; his canine companion Lyle; as well as many other special friends in Southwestern Ontario and British Columbia.

Born and raised in Leamington, Chris was drawn to the mountains, and lived in Alberta and British Columbia for many years, most recently in Kamloops. But his heart never fully left Leamington. He was a devoted and unapologetic fan of the Toronto Blue Jays and the Toronto Maple Leafs. He loved nature, golfing, all animals, barbequing, his friends, and especially his family and his grandchildren who brought great joy to his final years. He will be remembered for his kind heart, his loyalty to those he loved, and his willingness to lend a hand to others.
