The St George Tennis Club would like to send their condolences to the Kilpatrick family. John was always a pleasure to watch or share the court with.
CELEBRATING THE LIFE of
John Vincent Kilpatrick, late of “Southhampton”, St George, QLD.
A devoted man of the Queensland bush, John closed his last gate on Wednesday, 29 April 2026. He passed away peacefully, on his own terms, in the early hours of the morning.
He will be forever remembered by all who had the privilege to know him.
A true bushman and one of nature’s gentlemen, John was never one for the spotlight, yet always quietly dependable. His dry sense of humour often caught you off guard and will be fondly remembered by those who knew him.
Loved and devoted husband of Queenie (dec’d).
Much-loved father and father-in-law of Kylie & TJ, Jacqueline & Liam.
Adored Poppa of Jack & Alice, Ben & Meghan, Braxton & Arlo.
Proud Great Poppa of Mason.
Cherished “Bonus Poppa” of Allysha, Cassandra and Daina, and Great Poppa to Olivia.
John’s passing leaves a space that only time can soften. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and the wider community.
With respect, family and friends are warmly invited to celebrate John's life on Thursday, 7th May 2026, commencing at 10.30 am at the Anglican Church, 133-135 Victoria Street, St George, QLD 4487.
Following the service, John will be escorted to the St George Cemetery, where he will be laid to rest and reunited with his beloved, Queenie.
Those who wish to express their condolences may do so in person or by contributing messages below, which will be passed on to John's family after the service.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Royal Flying Doctor's Service of Australia, in honour of John, would be greatly appreciated. Envelopes will be available on the day.
"With boots on the ground and heart in the soil, he lived a life of purpose; now he rests in peaceful country".
