John Patrick Menard

John Menard entered into rest on March 03, 2018 surrounded by love and family. He was born in Whidbey Island, Washington, but resided in Sacramento, California from a young age. He is survived by his son, Shawn Patrick Menard, daughter-in-law, Jennifer Menard, grandchildren, Alexandria Menard, Braden Menard, and Alyssa Menard. He was one of five children: Mary (Angie) Stevenson, Kathy Navarrete, Wayne (Joe) Menard, and Elaine Newbold. John is also survived by many family members, including uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his father, Wayne Kenneth Menard, and his mother, Monica Irene Menard. He came from a close knit family, growing up with a brother, sisters, and cousins. His family meant the world to him. When his mother fell ill, in spite of his own poor health, he stepped in to help care for her during a most difficult time of her life. As happens in some families, we sometimes grow apart from those we love. It was during the time caring for his mom, he was able to rekindle many relationships. John was a loving person who expressed great gratitude for every hand lent. He was also a people person who loved to talk and socialize. He thoroughly enjoyed getting together and spending time with family for special occasions during the latter years of his life. He was loved and will be missed by many.
