We Remember

BURT, John Alexander
February 5, 1940 — October 20, 2024
John Alexander Burt, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, passed away peacefully on October 20, 2024, at the age of 84 in Central Okanagan Hospice House, Kelowna, BC. Born in Maidstone, SK, on February 5, 1940, John lived a life rich in family, faith, and a passion for cars.
John is survived by his devoted wife of 59 years, Erika; children, Grant (Sarah) and Stephanie (George); and cherished grandchildren, Natalie and Maya. He is also remembered by his siblings Kathy, Marg, Alfred, and Lois, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. John was predeceased by his brothers Art and Ralph, and sister Muriel.
A true automotive enthusiast, John spent his career in autobody work, and was recognized around body shops for his expertise, his skill in rebuilding cars, and his habit of collecting auto parts. His passion for cars and his beloved Ford Mustang 5.0 was matched only by his dedication to his family and his faith. A soft-spoken man with a dry sense of humour, John was generous with his time and love, always ready to lend a helping hand or share a story.
Deeply rooted in his faith, John relied on the Lord for guidance throughout his life. He cherished his friendships and found joy in gathering with loved ones, where car talk was a favourite pastime. He will be missed, but his spirit will live on in the memories shared by his family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice House Kelowna (Central Okanagan Hospice House).

I am so sorry for the loss of Jack. I was high school friends with Stephanie and my parents knew Jack as well. My dad owned a trucking business and took his trucks to Jack Burt’s Autobody.. My parents send condolences as well. I am allways thinking of the family and all the good times we had with big family gatherings..He was a hard working man and he will be missed.
Sending my deepest sympathies to Jacks family. I always enjoyed his friendliness and positive attitude!
