JOHN O'NEILL Obituary

JOHN GREGORY O'NEILL It is with deep sorrow and everlasting love that we mourn the passing of John Gregory O'Neill of Unionville on August 28, 2022, at the age of 73. John will be dearly missed and forever remembered by his wife, Marlene (née Houser); his children, Kale (Jane) and Kier (Jaime); his grandchildren, Brady, Fionn, Spencer, Quill, and Lyric; his sisters, Jane (Brian), Martha (Ed), Lise (Earle); his sister-in-law, Sherry; brother-in-law, Barry; his niece, Jaz (JR); extended family and dearest friends. He was predeceased by his sisters, Helen (Mark) and Colleen (Ron); his Great Aunt Ruth; and parents, Margaret and Tom. John had a great sense of humor and was often considered to be the life of the party. Lovingly known to his grandsons as "Gampy", John was a great storyteller, a true raconteur. An avid car enthusiast, John rarely missed an F1 race or qualifier, even when televised in the early hours of the morning, and could be spotted around Unionville driving his beloved black Porsche 951. Visitation will occur on Thursday, September 1st, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Dixon-Garland Funeral Home, 166 Main Street North, Markham, ON, L3P 1Y3.
