LYON, John Charles.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of John Charles Lyon, on Thursday 28 May 2026, surrounded in love after an incredibly brave battle with cancer.

Born on 22 December 1983, John was a devoted husband to Emma, dedicated Dad to Lucas and Sophia, adored son of Robyn and Charles, beloved brother of Sarah, cherished brother-in-law to Simon, Lani, Will, Penny and Marie, a special uncle and nephew, and a dear friend to so many.

We will remember John with deep fondness: for his cheeky, adventurous and fun-loving nature, ability to light up any room and bring the party wherever he went. He will be so very missed by all of us who were privileged enough to know him.

A celebration of John’s wonderful life will be held on Saturday 6th June, 11.30am at Northridge Golf Resort. 379 Wainui Road, Orewa.
