John Heyland passed away on July 16, 2020 at the Nakusp Hospital due to a progressive head injury. An accident at work had left him permanently retired at the young age of 32. He is survived by Lisa Heyland, his wife of 27 blessed years; his son Kirk and 3 daughters Nykita, Britney & Michelle; 2 grandchildren Shaun and Leah; 2 sisters Paula and Sherry; 1 nephew and 3 nieces. John was predeceased by his father and mother.
The family would like to thank the town of Nakusp for making his final ten month stay so memorable. Nakusp was one of his favorite places. His last 2 months were tough. He went quickly. The family would like to thank the Nakusp Hospital staff. They made his last days as pleasant as possible. Thank you for being there for us in our time of need.
God bless John and may he find the peace in death that his body could not give him in life. As per John's wishes, a memorial will be held next summer.
"Love you always and forever until we dance again my love".
