John Steven Hanzlick

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of John Hanzlick. Born in 1945, in Vancouver, BC and welcomed to Heaven by awaiting brothers Doug and Stan on March 7, 2025, at 80 years of age. 

Survived by his loving wife Dora, Son Steve (Kerry) Daughter Tanya. Granddaughter Rachel, (Jerzy) Grandsons Curtis, (Taylor) Dawson, Hayden, Beckam. Great Grandson Mason and Great Granddaughter Logan. 

John will be greatly missed by his sisters Teresa and Virginia, as well as all of his dear extended family, friends and lifelong crib partner Jack. 

John worked till 73 years of age as a plywood millworker. Although he would tell you he didn’t do a full day’s work in his life, for many decades, he worked 6 days a week, to provide the best possible life for his family. 

John was an avid card player with crib being his favorite game. He could always be found at the local crib tournament or playing at home at the kitchen table. 

John loved the simple things in life, sweet treats, root beer floats, all of his loyal dogs, but most of all, he loved his Family. 

All that knew him will miss John immensely and think often of his sense of humour and all the wonderful memories he has left with us. 

Until we meet again Dad, I say, I’ll see you down the road, the same way you ended every one of our crib games….

“Thanks for all of the Action!”
