Our hearts are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of John Hutchinson, one of the most caring and cherished men we have had the pleasure to know. John was born on May 18, 1971 in Fernie, he graduated from Fernie Secondary School in 1989. After graduating, John worked as a cook at Dorothy’s Restaurant in Fernie and at Tim Horton’s in Lethbridge. He was employed as a truck driver and machinery operator as a part of Henry Hutchinson Trucking and Son and he also worked for Mainroads keeping our highways safe. John was very successful in life and held so much pride in the company he owned and operated in the area. He resided in Fernie until his passing on April 21, 2012. John leaves behind to keep his memory alive, a large, loving family including the love of his life Christine and children Jeanine, Joshua and Aaron, son in law Cody Pinksen, grandchildren Dakota and Skyler, as well as parents Marilyn and Henry Hutchinson, sister Barb (Vern) Barwich and nephews Ayden and Calyn. He was called home by his grandparents John and Elizabeth Smitna, Jermanine and Henry Hutchinson Sr., and his father in law Karl Ernst. His greatest success was his family and how he touched everyone’s heart that he met, you were truly blessed to know him. His passions were the Chicago Cubs, Vancouver Canucks, BC Lions and playing X-Box or road hockey with his boys was a family favorite. His quite nights with his wife were his most favorite past time. He will be dearly missed and never forgotten. Go, knowing that you were very loved “Hutchie Bubba #44”.
