John Henri Labrecque
09/19/1959 – 07/20/2024
John Henri Labrecque, affectionately known as Johnny or Jean-Marie to his family, passed away peacefully on July 20, 2024. Born on September 19, 1959, John lived a life rich in friendship, music, and the beauty of nature.
John is survived by his daughter, Spring, as well as five siblings: Pierrette, Paulette, Andre, Marie, and Gerard. John was preceded in death by his parents, Gerard and Candida Labrecque, and his sister, Annette.
John had an extraordinary talent for gardening, with a green thumb that could nurture even the most delicate of plants. His garden thrived in any season, and in any place–even those as harsh as Phoenix. He is remembered by many when they look at their own garden and see his contributions.
Equally passionate about music, John found great joy in playing a variety of instruments, filling his home with melodies that resonated with his lively spirit. He favored the violin, but was able to pick up nearly any instrument and make a tune effortlessly. He was known to always be singing a song, whether of his own creation or one of his favorite classics.
Known for his charismatic and magnetic energy, John had a way of making everyone around him feel special and loved. His presence was a gift, and his loss will be deeply felt by all who knew him.
