John Sutherland Obituary

John Stewart Sutherland, 62 Resident of Redding, CA Passed away peacefully in his Redding home on October 5, 2010 from asthma complications. He is survived by his loving wife Lynn; daughter Eran; son Ian; twin daughters Sadie and Lucie; granddaughters Emma and Adalie; son-in-laws Adam Stone and Rick Giampietri; and sister Vicki Wells. John was born to Jack and Jean Sutherland on September 19, 1948 in Oakland, CA. He was a proud Vietnam Veteran that served in the US Army. John and Lynn lived and raised their family in Pleasanton, CA until he retired from Yellow Freight after 30 years of service. At this point, John and Lynn moved to Redding, CA. John was an easy-going, kind man with a great heart and loved to make people laugh. He enjoyed fishing, music, gardening, camping, kayaking, and most of all, spending time with his family. He was loved by many and will truly be missed. A celebration of John's life will be held on Friday, October 15, 2010 at 2pm at the Veterans Memorial Building, 3780 Mt. Diablo Blvd, Lafayette CA. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your local Humane Society in honor of John's love for animals. Arrangements under the direction of the Neptune Society of No CA, Chico Branch.
