John Edgar Lawrence, age 66, of Shediac Bridge, N.B., passed
away suddenly on December 27, 2025. Born in Moncton, he was the son of
the late Don Lawrence (1976) and the late Johanna Collins
(2017).
John was recently retired from Canada Post. He was also a
proud member of IATSE Local 680. An avid fan of country and rock, he
rarely missed the chance to attend a live concert. John’s
lifelong love of hockey began in his early years, and he was a devoted
Montreal Canadiens supporter. John was also a Sea Cadet as a teenager
and a graduate of Mathieu-Martin high school. John will be greatly
missed for his kind nature and his willingness to lend a helping
hand.
John is survived by his extended family: Dr. Joyce Kennedy
(Bill Leslie), Kerry Turner (Peter), Jenna Turner, Leigh Gillis (Paton
Francis), and Ewan Francis, all of Halifax, N.S., and Mary Kennedy of
Australia.
The family extends sincere thanks for the support shown by
John’s close friends and by Frenette Funeral
Centre.
A Celebration of Life followed by interment will be held in
the Spring at Elmwood Cemetery in Moncton and will be announced. In
memory of John, a contribution to a charity of the donor’s
choice would be appreciated. Funeral arrangements are in the
professional care of Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, Moncton
(506-858-1900).
