After battling illnesses that claimed his mobility and then ultimately his life, John Mark Waurishuk departed this world for a more perfect one on August 5. Born July 12, 1962, John was the third of six children born to Dorothy and James Waurishuk, both deceased. Along with numerous nieces and nephews, John’s siblings were Jim, Tim (now deceased), Tom (Patty), Stacey (Darrin) and Keith. He was the very proud father of two sons – Connor (Kristi) and Kyle – and grandfather to Tristan who was the apple of his eye. His ex-wife, Laura, remained his greatest advocate until the end.

Originally from Greenwich, CT and a graduate of St. Mary’s High School, John excelled at hockey. He was a restaurant owner for many years and then worked in retail until he became disabled. He moved to what he referred to as “paradise” in 2015 – Myrtle Beach, SC. John loved gardening, motorcycling, riding his jet ski, chatting with his neighbors, music and generally enjoying life in his adopted hometown. 

John loved the years he spent as a youth baseball coach for his sons and the local baseball field where he spent so much time will ultimately serve as his final resting place.

In lieu of services and in his memory, the family asks that you perform an act of kindness, no matter how small, to help make the world a better place.
