JOHN LEON THIBAULT
July 20, 1981 – May 10, 2014
With profound sadness, we announce the passing of John Thibault on May 10, 2014, in Edmonton.
John was born and raised in Lethbridge. He excelled in sciences at Winston Churchill, where he made and
charmed many friends. He completed a B.Sc. and M.Sc. at the University of Lethbridge. Always passionate
about science, John has been pursuing his PhD in medical microbiology at the University of Alberta.
In John’s too-short life, he overcame a series of serious health problems. He carried on with enthusiasm
and hope, wit and humour. It seemed that he could survive anything, and come through even stronger — a
true Man of Steel. For some, it may feel like his loss undoes a part of the world we thought we knew;
dismantles the laws of nature that applied to him.
But we want to celebrate the ways that John has touched us all. John played many different roles. He was
a loving son to Jim (Cathy) and Dereka (Bill), one-of-a-kind brother to Erin (Rob) and Ben (Kristin),
brilliant and goofy cousin and uncle, and friend and superhero to many. Best of all, John was — in his
own words — the luckiest husband having married the love of his life, Vicki (Mozgala).
A memorial service will be held at the Coast Hotel in Lethbridge, on Sunday May 18, 2014 from 2–5 pm. In
lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in John’s memory to the University of Alberta. Visit
http://www.giving.ualberta.ca with a note that your donation is in memory of John Thibault to support Virology
Research in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology.
John’s nephew, Declan, said that he wishes there were more people in the world like John. We all do.
Please help us to celebrate his life and our hero.
