John Blagden

BLAGDEN, John Ross John (Jack) Ross Blagden made his final round up on October 21, 2015, in his 83rd year. Retired welder and owner and operator of Corner Welding for over 40 years. He leaves his loving wife of 57 years, Joan Agnes (nee Bowstead), his son Robert (Bob) Blagden , his wife Rose and grandson John; his daughter Mary Jane Zohr, her husband Terry and twin grandsons Connor and Kameron; his daughter-in-law Valerie and grandchildren Adam, Eric, Rhindee and Stephani. Predeceased by his son Murray Blagden. Brotherly connection to Henry Goeree and wife Marion. Jack was born in Hamilton on March 25, 1933, the son of Edward and Mary-Jane Blagden. Survived by his eldest brother Edward (Ted) Blagden of Hamilton. He will be fondly remembered by his many friends and family. Jack pursued many passions in his life. Most memorable were always shared with friends, family and the great outdoors. He had a soft spot for dogs, horses and the occasional cat. He lived his life by the "Cowboys Code of Conduct", which is the unwritten rule of fair play, loyalty, honesty, respect for the land and animals and a rock solid work ethic. He took pride in upholding this unwriten code and applying his own interpretation to the rest of life's rules. Jack requested there is no funeral or service-cremation has taken place, internment Hamilton Cemetery. Respectfully, we wish to thank the medical team at the Pembroke Regional Hospital for their compassion, dedication and care provided. Happy trails to you my love, until we meet again.
