It is with great sadness that the family of John Wayne Trautman announces that on May 25 2020 Jack passed away peacefully in his home in Edmonton, AB. He was born Aug.28th 1945,raised on the Homestead in Duhamel area educated in New Norway.
Jack had the best job! 42 years with Continental/United airlines.His love for his job and his people skills led him to great heights in his career.Because of Jack his parents and siblings travelled the world.Jack is pre-deceased by Donna Shantz his sister and Don and Fannie Trautman his loving parents.He will be dearly missed by his family,Bob and Roxie(Stettler) Garry(Grande Prairie)Susan and Garry(Beaumont)Rick and Connie(New Norway)Randy and Colleen(Bashaw).Also all of his Nieces and Nephews ,
Jack was Papa Georgio to their children.He will be greatly missed by all his cousins,Uncle Stan and all his dear friends.There will be a Celebration of Life at a later time.Donations instead of flowers to a Women’s Homeless or Pet Shelter would make Jack Happy!
So sorry to hear of long time classmate of mine passing, Jack always had a big heart and is a big part of Don and Fannie’s family. He’s a good natured soul.
Wishing all of his family the very best in these times
May the good Lord Bless and keep you always

So sorry to hear of Jack’s passing. He loved life and family. I have find memories of dancing to Swanson’s Orchestra in Duhamel, New Norway and Bashaw. My condolences to your family. God bless you all.
I am very sad to hear the passing of Jack. This is Shiara Oliver, and I am from Camrose. I worked with Jack for 15 years with Continental Airlines in Calgary. Jack was so amazing to work with. Jack also was a great friend to me and made me laugh all the time. Jack’s kind gentle spirit was so evident in his daily life. My sincere condolences to Jack’s family and friends. Rest in Peace Sweet Man.
My thoughts and memories of working together with John will be with me. He always had a great smile, positive attitude and willing to help.
Warm wishes are with your entire family at this time.
