It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Jack Spearns, who left this world peacefully on October 18th, 2025, at home, surrounded by love and in the arms of his wife.
Born on February 4th, 1976, in Ottawa, Jack lived a life marked by courage, humor, and a fierce devotion to those he loved. Known for his quick wit, hard exterior, and unwavering loyalty, he touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him.
Jack found his greatest joy in life’s simple moments — the laughter of family, the comfort of friends and the calm of the ocean, his favorite place of peace. Though he faced illness with extraordinary strength and courage, his spirit remained unshaken. He fought hard and never gave up.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife, Brittany Spearns; his daughter, Jasmine Spearns; his son, Jordan Spearns; his sister May Spearns; his parents, Ron and Ruth Spearns; and many friends and extended family who will carry his memory in their hearts forever.
Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever at peace, Forever healed.

No words Jacko.
One of the most fiercely loyal friends and teammates you could ever have. If Jack had your back, he had your back and you wanted to return the favor tenfold.
He loved his family and his friends and I count myself lucky to have been one of those friends for thirty plus years.
My heart goes out to Brittany and his family.
He will be missed and loved always.

My thoughts and prayers for the Spearns family. Jack left too soon, I was happy when my cousin met her future husband, I was lucky to have spent some time with him before he moved back to Ontario. I will remember the laughs. RIP Jack❤️
Comforting hugs to you all, I wish I could be there for the service.

To Brittany and Jack's loved ones, I send you my deepest condolences.
Jack and I were troopmates at Depot in 2005 and then we were both posted to Surrey, British Columbia. We both worked on the same watch for years before our careers took a different path. Jack was a great colleague and a better friend! I remember those calls we went to as though it happened yesterday.
It was a very sad day when I found out that Jack had passed away. I will always cherish the memories I have of him! May you now rest in peace pal! Until we meet again...

I met Jack several years ago through hockey and I'm thankful for the time that I was able to spend with him. He was a great guy, with a big heart and he will be truly missed.
Dear Jack and Brittany,
You two are the most strongest people I know. The last 5 years must have been the most toughest years ever yet you both battled it together with love and strength. Cancer may have taken you Jack but it never took your spirit. You held on strong. Brittany you are a tough warrior woman! I am so proud of the woman you are. Your courage, your strength, your love for your family. I am truely blessed to call you my friend. I want you to know that Cancer may think it’s won by taking Jack. One thing Cancer will never win at is coming between the love two people share for each other. Jack you are a wonderful father! Brittany you are a wonderful mother! Your kids are so blessed and I know this has been a very difficult journey for them as well. May their hearts smile each time they think of you Jack. May they laugh every time they remember the silly times you all had. May they cry each Christmas that passes by without you. Their tears matter that shows how much you matter. Brittany my dear it’s okay to cry, it’s okay to grieve, to be mad, sad and angry. You have a right to all your emotions. Don’t ever hold them back for anyone. It’s okay to breakdown because in the end the love from everyone around you and Jack will lift you back up. Love you my dear friend Brittany ❤️.
