In 2001, John and his family relocated to Calgary, Alberta, where they resided for 18 years. Embracing the community at the Calgary Church of Christ, John actively participated in weekly services and small group gatherings. A lover of nature, he reveled in the majesty of the Canadian Rockies, often spending serene days floating down the Bow River with his fishing companions, Kim and Quinn, and enjoying summers on the local golf courses.

Recognized for his compassion and dedication, John earned the admiration of colleagues and employees alike. As a supportive and inspiring leader, he established deep connections based on respect and encouragement.
Survived by his loving wife, Tyra Hedges, daughter Ashley Redwine, sister Adrienne Smith, brother-in-law Todd Smith, niece Saige Smith, and nephew Cy Smith, John leaves behind a legacy of love, integrity, and professional excellence.
