J.L. RIP

Born and raised in Calgary, Alberta in 1978 - a province that has been recently leaning toward more liberal values, we might add–Jon, a father and proud owner of a condo up at Sun Peaks, had had enough and up and died on us on June 14th in order to avoid another Trudeau stolen-election mishap in the near future. As a gluttonous eater of chicken fingers and Doritos, as well as the occasional veggie dog, Jon, tried in vain to give up the ghost by crashing in Pineview 2019. His boys, Carter and Lucas, had other plans and made him go to the hospital. While waiting in the ER at the hospital, he was heard saying, "Let's make a break for it!", only to be heard by Kathryn and forced to go through the procedure. He wasn't too excited about the prospect, but went anyway. On many occasions in life, Jon was seen in his back yard at Sun Peaks during the early hours of the morning, hammering beers, standing over chicken burgers, and yelling, "It's got a head like a cat on it!", while nearby neighbors would peek out their windows bearing looks of disgust and amazement, as his party guests were slurring remarks about needing to speed up his cooking style. "We've been here since 5 o'clock," they would say. "I've got work in the morning." We think he was married, but she was never around. "It's the bones", he told us as proudly pointed his skinny, pasty-white legs. "Women love a good shin". Jon loved his family more than anything else in the world...except ice-cold hazy IPAs, room-temperature hazy IPAs, chicken fingers, chicken burgers, rotisserie chicken, skiing, biking, fishing, Tacoma pick up trucks, tank-tops, American conspiracy theories, and his personal copy of The Collective (2004). He leaves behind his second-favorite son, Lucas LaMothe of Kamloops, BC, his favorite son, Carter LaMothe of Kamloops, BC, a younger brother, Joey, and Illegitimate daughter Melissa(and Coy) Vance of the Rose Hill trailer park, as well as a pair of old boxers which have 'Buttweiser the King of Rears' printed on the design. He will be moderately missed.
