The Courier-Mail

The Australian community is mourning the passing of John Arthur Yard, a much-loved brother-in-law and uncle. He leaves behind a legacy of cherished memories for his family, Bill and Joan Spencer (née Harper, dec'd), Wendy and Ron, and Jim.

News of John's passing has brought comfort in knowing he is now free from pain, embarking on a new adventure – bowling, fishing, and dancing in his next life, as his family fondly puts it.

John's life touched many, and heartfelt condolences are extended to all his families and friends during this difficult time. His absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.

This announcement also serves as a poignant reminder of Perri Cutten, a trailblazing figure whose impact on the community continues to be felt. Her memory stands alongside John's, a testament to lives lived with passion and purpose.

John’s vibrant spirit and the connections he forged will be forever remembered by those who were fortunate enough to know him. He will be missed dearly. Details regarding funeral arrangements will be shared as they become available. Please keep John’s family in your thoughts during this period of grief and remembrance.

A celebration of John’s life is being planned, and further information will be released shortly. We encourage anyone who wishes to share their memories and condolences to reach out to the family.

Rest in peace, John. Your memory will live on.
