Obituary for John Funk

Funk, John

John passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, July 23, 2019 at the age of 59.

He was the beloved husband of Karen Funk (nee Higgins) for 36 years;
proud father of Sarah Funk and Julie Funk (Matt Frazer);
dear son of Thea and the late Henry Funk;
loving brother of Ana Schappert, Margaret Funk, Victor Funk (Joanne); and will be missed by his mother-in-law, Georgina Higgins (the late Roger Higgins); his sister-in-law, Cathy Swartz (Paul); and his nieces and nephew.

John was born in Paraguay in 1960 and immigrated to Canada later that year before his family settled in Kitchener-Waterloo in 1963. An avid golfer, John was a fixture at Merry-Hill Golf Club on Saturdays. He was a prominent board member at Kitchener Mennonite Brethren Church, serving a variety of leadership roles. John will be remembered for his determination, tireless sense of humour, and love of learning. He was a student of every post-secondary institution in the region; John received his BASc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Waterloo (’84), an MBA from Wilfrid Laurier University (’93), and regularly took post-degree courses from Conestoga College.

As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Mennonite Central Committee or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated by the family.
