Notes - FREY, John David - Was born January 9, 1961 to Amsey and Ina Frey. He grew up on the family farm and attended Linwood P.S. and Elmira District S.S. After he left school, he worked in a variety of jobs, eventually moving to B.C. to work in reforestation. In 1998, after he was diagnosed with depression, he began treatment. He was finally able to overcome his drug and alcohol addictions through the help of counseling, anti-depressants and Narcotics Anonymous. He celebrated ten years alcohol and drug-free on Nov. 1, 2008. John felt the anti-depressants with their side effects prevented him from working full-time, so he stopped taking his medication. When he couldn't find full-time work, his depression got the best of him. He died on August 6, 2009. We are very sorry for such a tragic ending to John's life and regret that he could not find a compelling reason to live. Our hearts are consoled by the belief that he has finally found some measure of peace on the other side. John was predeceased by his sister, Wendy (1965) and his father, Amsey (2003). He is survived by his mother, Ina; his son, Alia Ozdemir; his sister, Nancy, her husband Bruce Yoder and children Jeremiah and Deborah; his brother, Kenton, his wife Teresa Brown and children Maxwell and Olivia; his brother, Cameron Kaufman-Frey, his wife Dawn and children Adam and Annika. Visitation will take place Sunday, August 23, 2009 from 6-8 p.m. at St. Jacobs Mennonite Church. A private burial will be held Monday morning and a memorial service will be held Monday afternoon at 2 p.m. at St. Jacobs Mennonite Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the House of Friendship.
