Edward John Morrissey May 18, 1978 to June 12, 2020 It is with broken hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of John Morrissey, at Western Memorial Regional Hospital, on Friday, June 12, 2020 surrounded by his loving family. John was a skilled musician with a passion for creating his own music and a love for instruments. But there was no love greater than what he felt for his wife and children. John and Sarah were married on April 10, 2016 in front of all their friends, family and even strangers with the most memorable and heartwarming ceremony after they won a wedding with OZ FM. John's children Adam, Scarlett and Luke were the light of his life and his favorite job in life was being their dad. John worked as a home support worker, which would be no surprise to everyone around him, as John was a gentle and caring soul. John was quick to get a cold cloth and some Tylenol for anyone suffering from a headache even on days that he felt terrible himself. His tenderness could even be felt by insects - as he couldn't understand anyone squishing a spider. John will be forever missed by all those he has left behind including his wife, Sarah; children Adam Parsons, Scarlett and Luke Morrissey; his father John Morrissey (Marge and family); siblings Theresa Morrissey-Norris (Darren) and Gordon Morrissey- both residing in Ontario; his mother-in-law Karen Donahue (Len); father-in-law Dexter Bellows (Mary) and his special furry companion, Charlie. He will be sadly missed by his sisters-in-law Jennifer Bellows (Jamie), Natasha Bellows (Philippe) and Danika Thistle (David), who all played critical parts in keeping him comfortable during his final months. John will be remembered fondly by the many Aunts, Uncles and cousins whom loved him dearly. He leaves behind several nieces and nephews - William, John, Stephen, Ryan, Piper, Natalie and Nico. He will be forever remembered by his special friends - Mark, Evan, Barry and Matthew Sheppard, and Mark Young. John will also be missed by someone who became such a special friend in the most unexpected way - Henry Green. He will also be missed by his special family - the Sheppard, Young and Snooks families. John was predeceased by his beautiful mother, Anne, who he lost far too early in 1984. John remembered her every single day. He was also predeceased by his grandparents and very special Great Aunt Carmel. The family would like to thank all the WMRH staff who have provided care and compassion, particularly the Chemo Unit (who affectionately called him Sexy Johnny) and the Palliative Care Unit. The family would also like to thank the staff of the Salvation Army Thrift Store who showed John so much kindness and compassion throughout his sickness. They wrapped John in love and prayer and it will never be forgotten. The family would also like to thank Community Health Nurse, Jody Penney, for her phenomenal care and attention to details for John's comforts and the support she provided to the family. A huge thank you also goes out to all friends, family and community members who have shown so much love, compassion and generosity during the family's toughest days. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic a private viewing and burial will occur. A traditional funeral will occur at a later date. While traditional services cannot occur, please take the time to remember John any way that may be special to you. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the WMRH Chemo or Palliative Care Units or the charity of one's choice.
