We are sad to announce that on June 6, 2024, at the age of 80, Jon Greer Purcell (Ottawa, Ontario) passed away. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Jon Greer Purcell to pay them a last tribute.

As Jon departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Jon may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Jon leaves behind.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Jack Purcell and Rita Purcell. He is survived by: his wife Jan; his children, Devon (Eleni Bleeker) and Julianne (Peter Woyzbun); his grandchildren, Sofia, Remi and Magnus; and his sister-in-law Deborah McLachlan (Cobden).

David Green wrote a sympathy message

“Jon was a one of a kind guy, with a tremendous appetite for having fun and enjoying life. I'll never forget meeting him at West Fest in 2009, we had a great time chatting about bluegrass and all the people we both knew in it, while Jan played on stage. I'll miss his boundless enthusiasm and positive energy. Long may you run.”
