Obituary of John Andrew Capar

With heartfelt sadness, we announce the sudden passing of John Andrew Capar, of Fredericton, on Saturday, November 2, 2024 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital. Born on July 8, 1953 in Winnipeg, MB, he was a son of the late George and Genia “Jean” Capar. Before retirement, John worked at RPC primarily as an NDT Technician and in later years as a Field Supervisor. He loved his work and the people he worked with. It allowed him to travel, not only across Canada but throughout Europe and Asia to meet and work with many new people.

John enjoyed spending time with friends with one group trip to the 2010 Superbowl in Florida being a highlight of his life. He spent many years playing slow pitch where his team was comfortable holding the nineth or tenth place until recent years when they jumped the rankings to second.

Family played an important role in John’s life. From time at the cottage on Davidson Lake and midnight canoe cruises with Rick to spoiling Kate, his only daughter and later, Max, her son and John’s only grandchild.

John leaves behind his life partner, Bonny Tabor; their daughter, Kate Tabor (Tyler); grandson, Max Morehouse; brothers, Ron Capar (Marsha), Dan Capar, Rick Capar (Alanna); sister-in-law, Judy Boyd (Rick); and numerous nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, John was predeceased by his brother, George Capar Jr.

John’s family would like to extend a special thank you to the Doctors and Nurses of the CCU and ICU at the DECRH for their exceptional care during John’s time there.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of York Funeral Home, 302 Brookside Drive, Fredericton, where John's family will welcome guests to Celebrate his Life on Thursday,  November 7, 2024 from 6-8 pm. Remembrances can be made to a charity of the donor’s choice.
