Obituary for Jon "Jon Aye" Achneepineskum
Dominic Jonathan Joseph Randall Achneepineskum also known as Jon Aye, 36 years, a resident of Lake Helen Reserve, passed away on Sunday, October 4, 2020 at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre
Jon was born in Geraldton on April 18, 1984. He was a loving father, partner, son, brother, and friend. Family meant everything to him. He loved his daughters with all his heart. He was a great storyteller who knew how to paint the scene to make you feel like you were there with him. He was a hard worker who would make sure the job was done right no matter how long it took. He loved fishing, hunting partridge, camping, watching shows about bigfoot, travelling, singing, storytelling, teaching his girls outdoor skills, and being in the bush. If it was up to him, he would have built a cabin and lived the traditional way of life.
