SCHEPP, Johannes

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Johannes Schepp.
John was born January 29 in Odessa, Ukraine to Johanna and Karl Schepp. Early life was difficult as a German citizen growing up in the USSR. He fought and worked his way through many struggles and in 1958 he enrolled in medical school graduating with honours in June of 1963. In 1965 an opportunity to further his career presented itself and he became head of the stomatology department at Dnestrovsk regional hospital in Moldova. This is where he met the love of his life, Irma. In 1973 they married, and they had three children, Erwin, Mary and Edward.
In search of a better life John and Irma, were granted permission, given by the Soviet Union, to resettle in Germany as Heimkehrer (homecomers). Dr. Johannas Schepp opened his first dental practice in 1976, alongside dentistry his other passion was architecture and construction. He loved to design, draft and build. Throughout life he stayed extremely busy and enjoyed hard work, yet he always found time for family.
Family was the most important part of his life and he loved to travel the world with them. In 1982 he found Canada and Kelowna, BC. He was absolutely mesmerized by its beauty of country, people, and the call of the wild. Once again in search of a more relaxed lifestyle he uprooted his family and immigrated in October

My condolences to all of the Schepp Family. John was a great friend and hunting partner of mine since 1987. We had great times in the bush and private with his Family. Irma was a great wife for 46 years, and she was a great nurse the last 9 years of his life to care for John. My old buddy, I will miss you, but I also know you are in a better place now. Watch from above and smile, your Friend,
