Special gratitude to all who were involved in John’s wellness over the years. To inspire and inform others, John wrote “Cancer – Never Surrender, It’s Personal” – an anecdotal account of his years of journeying with cancer and his success using integrated therapies that combined both traditional with naturopathic treatments.
John was a proud member of the Ivanhoe Masonic Lodge and as an Al Shamal Shriner. He was the cherished father of Krystal McLay (Jeffry Bennett) and Miranda McLay, and uncle of Claudia Thompson and Tracy Thompson. He was the beloved son of Ivy McLay and the late John McLay, and brother of Bonnie McLay and Brenda McLay. It is with deep sadness that the McLay family announces the passing of John Allan McLay Jr.
