John Paré

Obituary of John Jean Claude Patrick Paré

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jean Claude “John” Paré on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at the age of 86. Beloved husband of the late Alice Paré (née Bisson). Devoted father of Caroline Couldery (Randy) and the late David Paré. John will be missed by his siblings, Muriel Paré, and Gisèle Voitsidis (late Angelo), as well as his many nieces and nephews, and his fur grandbabies, Cora, and Raven. Predeceased by his loving parents; Alfred and Maria Paré, as well as his sisters; Micheline Dallaire (Roger), Gaetanne Lauzon, and fur grandbabies; Scar and Lilly. 

John’s passion for life was evident in the simple pleasures that brought him joy. A lifelong Toronto Maple Leafs fan, he found great delight in watching hockey. He also enjoyed his many outings playing darts at the Welland Legion, where he formed lasting friendships. Above all, John had an immense love for dogs. He dedicated time each week to dog-sitting, often spoiling his furry friends with treats and affection.

The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to the compassionate nurses on the 6th floor at the Welland Hospital and the wonderful staff in the ICU for their care and support during this difficult time.
