It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that the Fee family announces the passing of John Arthur Fee, lovingly known as Jack, on March 19, 2026, at the age of 83. Jack passed peacefully, surrounded by his family. Beloved husband of Elizabeth “Betty” Fee (Rose) for 62 years. Loving father of Eric (Catherine), Paul (Lisa), and the late Kimberly Fee Malcolm. Cherished grandfather of Joshua (Victoria), Emily, Marley, Jane, and Jaime (Allan), and proud great-grandfather of Erika, Michael, Ryder, and Abigail. Jack was the son of the late Ivison and Irene Fee. He was predeceased by his siblings Evelyn, Leslie, Freeman, and Mansel, and will be fondly remembered by his sister Helene. He will also be deeply missed by his many nieces and nephews, who held a special place in his heart. Jack dedicated 30 years of service to General Motors, alongside his lifelong commitment as a second-generation farmer on the Fee family farm in Omemee. He was also a proud member of the Omemee Fire Department for 32 years, serving his community with dedication and pride. Jack spent his life on the family farm in Omemee, where the land and community meant everything to him. He enjoyed woodcarving, dancing, sharing jokes, and spending quiet time by the pond. Above all else, Jack cherished time with his family, creating memories that will be treasured for generations. Jack leaves behind deep roots and a legacy that will live on through his family and all who knew and loved him. Family and friends will be received at Highland Park Funeral Centre, 2510 Bensfort Road, for visitation on Wednesday March 25, 2026 from 9:30 am to 10:30 am.

In memory of Jack, donations to Trinity United Church in Omemee or a charity of choice would be appreciated by the family.
