Peacefully surrounded by his loving family on 15th October 2025, John aged 89 years of Rishton and formerly of Blackburn. The devoted and much-loved husband of Irene, loved dad of Stuart and Duncan, dear father-in-law of Gina and Debbie, cherished grandad of Jennie and Max, dear brother of Ken and respected relative and friend.
John started his career with 3years in the Royal Air Force based in Yemen and then returned to Blackburn where he worked at Press Bakery where he met his future wife, Irene, who he married and recently celebrated their 65year anniversary with. John loved driving which was also his career working for many local companies in the area. John was an avid Blackburn Rovers supporter, loved being outdoors, and of course his holidays. Above all else, he was a family man, he cherished Irene, his sons and wider family, and of course his dogs. He was also an enthusiastic photographer and leaves not only captured memories on film, but many more in the hearts of his family and friends.
Family flowers only please. Donations are being received in John’s memory on behalf of Dementia UK.


Rest is eternal peace uncle John, we shared many memories, moments of laughter and we sure loved having Benji over to stay for his holidays. I know you’ll have been met with loving open arms you will be dearly missed. As I sit on my balcony in Fuengirola I think of you and auntie Irene jetting off on your holidays together to make everlasting memories. I think of the love shared between you both and how much you loved going on holiday together. I’ll raise a glass for you tonight. Sleep peacefully until we meet again. x
We will miss your happy smiling cheeky face. Never failed to have such a good laugh with you, John. RIP such a brilliant character 😢 💙
