DAVIDIAN, John

Passed away at Guelph General Hospital, on Tuesday, May 26th, 2020. John
was the beloved husband of the late Irene (May 26, 2019) and loving father
of Arthur (Dayna), and Edgar (Sarah). Dear grandfather of Sydney, Araxi,
Alec, Siena, Bria, and Ella. John will be missed by his sister Nelly
(Noric) Davidian Parseh, and brother in-laws Eric Chilingarian and Seroje
(Seda)Nersissian, his sisters-in-law Rose (Jenik) Shirdel and Janet (Dori)
Shirdel; and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his sisters Helen
Chilingarian, Mariette ( Zaven) Simonian and brother David Davidian and
his brother-in-law Zhorick (Judy) Shirdel.

From his early years John was a leader amongst his peers and gravitated to
sports and competition. He was a t rue competitor and put his heart and
soul into it, no matter what the activity or game he was participating in.
He was a strong character which showed in his life in every aspect, from
protecting his kid sister to standing up for what he believed in as he was
a man of principles and values. His entrepreneurship and hard work ethics
started very early as while in high school he was working part time at the
American Embassy as a telephone operator at the young age of 16. This was
followed by many business ventures which made him the man he was today.

John was a loving husband, excellent father, a good provider, a
disciplined and generous person with a passion for competition. His laugh
and sense of humour were contagious. Anyone who met him was instantly
drawn in by his massive personality and would never forget him. Once you
had his approval you were part of the family. He loved his sports, golf,
skiing and tennis. All games, especi ally backgammon, but most of all he
loved his family. He was a serial entrepreneur who was always looking for
a good deal and opportunity. His legacy will live long through all his
family who loved him and looked up to him. He was truly a one of kind
person and the hole created by his loss cannot be filled with words.

A private family interment will be held at Woodlawn Memorial Park, Guelph.

As expressions of sympathy donations to St. Nishan Armenian Apostolic
Church, 15 International Village Drive, Cambridge, ON N1R 7M5 would be
