Our prayers are with you. It was good to join you for the funeral. Some lovely tributes. I received a phone message from John before his surgery, telling me that he was reading my book. Amazing. I will send you a transcript of the message, Irene.
Blessings during this difficult time.

John provided me with rides to and from the airport few times and I felt I was just getting to know him. My sympathy to Irene and John's family.

My deepest sympathy to Irene and the family at this time of loss. I remember meeting John at Northfield Auto many years ago when my husband Robert stopped to have a visit with his cousin. His warm and caring personality shone through even in our short visit. May you know much of God’s comforting care in the days that lie ahead.
“The eternal God is thy refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms.” Deuteronomy 33:27
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Ruth (Robert) Dyck

Our sincere condolences to the family of John Klassen. My contact with John spanned over 2 decades working with him first at Klassen Motors and than as an employee when he opened and ran Northfield Auto. I enjoyed every year and have many happy memories. All the attributes being given to him are true and honest. Rest in peace and you will be welcomed with open arms in your golden reward.
Richard and Lois Shantz

My fondest memories of John were singing in one of Robert Shuh's Christmas or Easter choirs at WMB. As a fellow tenor we always had fun. I truly was looking forward to joining him in his choir a few years, I guess I'll have to wait until we can sing together in heaven now! Also I appreciated John's insight in dealing with some difficult situations serving the refugee community. John, you will be greatly missed; deepest condolences to you Irene.

The best part of our time in Canada was to meet the Klassen's. Jhon & his family took care of us as if we were one more of their children. We were lucky to find in him an extraordinary person. His human qualities & his huge heart made us better persons.
Jhon, thank you for filling our hearts with wonderful memories, you will always be an example to follow. We are going to love you forever.

I knew John mostly through volunteering with him at MCC. He was always so calm and calming, thoughtful, respectful, loving. I also knew him from WMB and we shared an interest in photography. He will be missed. Those very positive characteristics will live on in those whose lives he touched.

Had a wonderful conversation with John just before the start of our new church a few weeks ago when I was down with covid. We prayed together and encouraged one another. He will be missed by many.
Sorry, to hear of your loss Irene; praying for you as you mourn and grieve.
Thankful that we know with out a shadow of a doubt that He is now in the presence of Jesus experiencing perfect love, joy and peace. We can look forward to seeing Him again.

RIP my friend John. I knew John in the first year I came to Canada (2009). It is amazing how he was always ready to step in and help his friends. Kept smile on our faces and always guide us through our normalization as new resident in Canada.
It has been around 13 wonderful years of friendship. I will always remember you when I look at the pictures you took for me and my family when we became Canadian citizens in 2013. Every time I look at them.
Rest In Peace as you always were with your lord and the world.
