The obituary notice of John Gregory MCKENNA

To our Uncle John. Rest peacefully. We’ll all miss you very much. Love from Victoria and the boys xxx

I would like to share some fond memories of my dear brother-in-law John, who left us all too soon. He was unassuming, never craving the limelight - but was a constant reassuring presence. As a nervous bride 6 years ago I was glad to have his arm to cling to, as we walked down a grand staircase to my wedding ceremony, where John 'gave me away' in place of my late father.

Many years earlier I remember watching him with pride as he ran in half-marathons like the 'Great North Run' from Newcastle to South Shields. It's hard for me to remember a time when John was not part of our family, so his untimely passing feels like losing a brother. May he rest in peace xx

Rest in peace uncle John, will miss you very much , many happy memories , you are always in our hearts , love always Emma xx

We are going to miss you so much, John, but we’ll hold on to the happy memories and laughter we’ve shared over the years. Love from Sandra, Paul, Emma, Victoria, Seb and Evan xxx
