John Kreut Obituary
1943 - 2025
JJac passed away peacefully on December 8, 2025, with his loving wife Trish by his side. Jac is survived by his daughter Tania, sons Jason (Allison) and Josh. Grandchildren Shaun, Trinity, Lindsay, Isla and great-granddaughter Nova.
Jac Started his career in the pulp industry in Prince Rupert as the General Manager. He also attended Harvard and got his MBA in Executive Management. He then changed careers to the natural gas business. He was instrumental in bringing natural gas to Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. By retirement, he was both President & CEO of Terasen Gas (now Fortis).
He also served many years as Chairman of the Board for Victoria Island Health Authority. It was during this time that the Patient Care Centre at Royal Jubilee Hospital was built & changed. In honour of Jac’s dedication to the project, his name is etched into the wall at the entrance.
Jac’s passions included golf (Uplands Golf Club) – he had 3 holes-in-ones! Fishing (trying to beat Trish’s 45 lb salmon). But I think his greatest passion was travelling. He and Trish travelled the world, often lugging their golf clubs.
It was a very sad Christmas without Jac, and he will be forever missed and forever loved by his family.
There will be a Memorial Service at a later date.

My mother, Marjory Kreut Kingsbury, was the sister of Jac Kreuts father.
I grew up with Jac in Ioco and we attended Port Moody High School. We were in Cubs and Scouts together as teens and enjoyed growing up on the Burrard Inlet.
My condolences to Jacs family in this difficult time.

Trish and extended family... We are so sorry to learn about Jac's passing. Jac was a warm, funny, compassionate and easy to talk to person. I not only met during the Christmas parties (Centra Gas/Terasen) but also during the golf tournaments, and always having a smile or laughing about something.
Our thoughts are with you.
