John TUPPER Obituary
TUPPER, John Charles
November 11, 1954 - July 7, 2024
It is with sadness we announce the passing on July 7, 2024, of John Tupper, the first-born son of Harold and Lillian Tupper. A West Van original, John is survived by his best friend Susan Arnold, brother David (Kathy), sister-in-law Nicky Morgan (Gerry), niece Sophia (Adamo), nephews Wynn (Stephanie) and Simon (Taryn), grand-nephew Sandro and grand-niece Uma, and predeceased by sister Tannis and brother-in-law Butch.
John was loyal, supportive and loving, witty, clever and a repository of knowledge (both useful and arcane!). Above all, John was a survivor - a fighter against great odds. John will be missed by a wide spectrum of people. He was an ally to family, friends and neighbours, clients, fellow athletes (many he coached) and people (some random) he'd meet on the street, at the airport, the local fruit stand, functions, games, car shows, and every November 11, rain or shine, at the WV Cenotaph.
Our family would especially like to thank the many fantastic and talented medical professionals, paramedics, firefighters and support staff who assisted John throughout his life. Notable among these are Dr. Bin Lim, Dr. Adam Chruscicki, Dr. Dave Williscroft, the staff at Lions Gate Hospital Emergency Department and Floors 2E, 4E&W, 5E&W, 6W and 7W, the St. Paul's Hospital Kidney Care Clinic, and Kiwanis Manor, Inglewood Care Centre and Churchill House on the North Shore. Donations can be made to a medical foundation of your choice.

I knew John as I was his father's first line of defense in trying to keep his single father home in order. We became close friends and I loved that family so very much. It was a joy to make their home an oasis to come home to. Evelyn
