We are deeply saddened to share the death of John Barnfield, co-founder and long-time President of Rayjon. John was more than a leader; he was a mentor, a friend, and an inspiration to all of us.
For nearly four decades, John’s dedication shaped Rayjon’s work in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and right here at home in Sarnia Lambton. He built bridges, formed lasting friendships, and showed us the power of caring, one person at a time. His warmth, generosity, and vision left an imprint on countless lives, and his guidance helped Rayjon grow into the organization it is today.
Supporters have shared an outpouring of heartfelt memories and reflections, celebrating John’s kindness, passion, and unwavering commitment. Saying goodbye to such an important figure in Rayjon’s story is not easy, but we take comfort in knowing his legacy will continue to inspire us for years to come. |
