I just learned of John’s passing. He was one of the “circle of friends” from my youth. He was always the quiet one, but was ever present at our beach bonfires, and I have a few pictures of him enjoying a cold beer, sitting with friends around the fire, with a smile on his face. It is how I will always choose to remember him. My love goes out to my friend Dave – his brother, and the entire Tigert family.

Our condolences to all the members of the Tigert family. He was a nice guy who was always willing to help out at the park.
We have camped at the park for many years and missed chatting to him when his health prevented him from being around the park. I am sure he will be missed by many friends and acquaintances.

John was good friend and neighbour who was always willing to give a helping hand. He spent many a day driving tractor baling hay and straw; and always be there at minute notice. You will be missed Buddy

John loved animals, he was a kind soul as a child he would always keep a heating lamp in the winter and feed the animals as a child I had lots of great memories of him teaching me how to call the stray cats and how to pet them without running away. John loved his food and always looked very happy at family dinners. I’ll always remember John cutting down trees and helping pick firewood for bonfires. Sometimes it was hard for him to open up but he always loved his family. With deep regret I lose my uncle after his struggle with diabetes.
