SAVAGE, JOHN RICHARD

John Richard Savage passed away suddenly at his residence on Monday, August 26th, 2024 at the age of 70. John dedicated his life to service; to his family, to the military, and to the Masons. He is predeceased by his former wife, Shelley, who is survived by their daughter Brooke (TJ) and grandchildren Poppy and Ellie. He will be dearly remembered by his second wife Toni, and their children Benjamin (Victoria), Brynn, and Kylie.
