John William Stecyk was born on November 23, 1956, to Metro and Annie (Teslak) Stecyk in Saskatoon, SK. In 1966, he relocated with his mother and step-father, Bill Martyniuk, to farm in the Norquay District.
John loved the farm and all aspects of the farm life. He helped his parents and took on many responsibilities around the yard. He cared for the animals, milked cows, and helped with the grain farming operations.
For a time, John worked as a long-haul truck driver, which took him throughout Canada and the USA. John also enjoyed working on heavy construction equipment.
Recently, John purchased a little house on Main Street in Norquay, where he continued to reside until his passing. He enjoyed socializing with friends over coffee across the street at Corner Gas or Coop and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
John was predeceased by his father, Metro; mother, Annie and his step-father, Bill. Left to cherish his memory are his aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and extended family members.
