John was the only beloved son of Pat and Theresa Lyne and was also adored by his sister Claire and brother-in-law Ken. Sadly missed by his aunts, uncles and cousins.

John's loss has also deeply affected his large network of very close friends both here in Limerick, Canada - his friends and colleagues in PCL Construction, Sparwood, Canada - and all across the world.

The Lyne family will, in time, organise a fundraiser to show their appreciation to the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust. The family wishes to express their deep gratitude for all who are supporting them at this tragic time especially The Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust.

May he rest in peace.
