On Tuesday evening, July 14th John took his final flight Home to be with Jesus. He will be dearly missed by his children Dwayne (Laura) and Glenda Mast, his grandchildren Eliana, Ava, Olivia and Zander Mast, as well as siblings Bill (Betty) Mast, Lydia Wagler, Harry Mast, Glen (Ellen) Mast, and sister-in-law Katie Mast. He is predeceased by his dear wife Esther (Nolt) Mast, his parents Joas and Katie Mast and siblings Susie Mast, Moses Mast, Albert Mast, brother-in-law Virgil Wagler, and sisters-in-law Sadie Mast and Flo Mast.

Visitation will take place on Monday, July 27th from 6 pm – 8 pm with a devotional service and time of shared memories at 7:00 pm at Grace Community Church.

A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, July 28th at 11 am, with a visitation at 10 am at the Grace Community Church with Keith Graber officiating and Paul Gosselin bringing the message. Interment and luncheon to follow.

John will be lovingly remembered as a friend to everyone, and he never knew a stranger. He was a caring pilot, a gifted storyteller with a unique sense of humour, a hardworking carpenter, and someone who was always generous and ready to lend a helping hand. He also loved sharing his “box of tricks” with friends and family. John lived a life marked by humility and hospitality, and he was filled with the hope of the LIFE to come because of what Jesus Christ had done for him on the cross.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7
