Peacefully, with his family by his side, at University Hospital, London, on Sunday, March 20, 2022, Ashley Joseph James Gaynor in his 49th year. Beloved father of Sean Gaynor of Kitchener. Cherished son of John and the late Patricia Gaynor (1995). Loved brother of Ann-Marie (Steven) Harpur and Allen (Leanne) Gaynor, all of London. Dear uncle of Keira, Nolan and Finn Gaynor.

Weep not for me though I have gone

Into that gentle night
Grieve if you will, but not for long
Upon my soul's sweet flight

I am at peace, my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears
For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years

There is no pain, I suffer not
The fear is now all gone
Put now these things out of your thoughts
In your memory I live on

Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife
Please do not dwell upon my death
But celebrate my life
