Big Snake guest house John died!

Any of you that might have known John from NZ that built the Big Snake guest house resort in Phon Phosai,I received a call a few minutes ago to inform me that on his visa run to VTE,he collapsed and died from an apparent heart attack.You can contact his wife at the guest house for dertails.I was told that his remains were at the NK hospital awaiting relatives from NZ for services Thursday!I understand that he was about 50 and in seemingly good shape at the time,so it is quite shocking!

Sad news indeed!

My deepest condolences to all John's Family & friends.

My condolences to family & friends.

Another reminder to: Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.

Well you cant help a bit of bad luck!

too sad. we have cardiac patients that ranges from 29 yrs - 44 yrs old. some that doesn't take care of themselves and those who seem healthy were just born with a bad heart. so we never know... life is too short and unexpected. my condolences to Mr John's family.

Too true. Yesterday, our city had a large funeral for Yolanda King, the 51-year-old daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr -- heart failure.

Hi all,

My name is Harley Trethewey, John's son from New Zealand.

I was wondering if anyone had any contact details for Ying (jarinyar), John's widow, as the email I have been trying recently has gone quiet....

If anyone has any information about her contact details that they could share, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hallo Harley,

I am the neighbour ( soi9) from BIGSNAKEguesthouse in Phon Phisai.
If you want i can visit the guesthouse and inform for you.

Greetings Rolando

I was yesterday in the garden from BIGSNAKE to make this picture, because the new owner asked me to help him with a webpage.[color=#FF00BF][/color]

Hello Guys,
There is a PM (Personal Mail) facility on the forum, you can use it to exchange private contact information.

My condolences to you Harley and John.

Hello Harley,
So sad to hear that John died. He was the bass guitarist in my band The Dream Machine (1969/1970). If I remmeber correctly he was only 15, and he was already an excellent bass guitarist. John took over on bass after his older brother Mark left the band. I have photos of the band with both Mark and John if you're interested.
Regards from Rotterdam, Holland
