The Grind Memorial Wall Ceremony
On Saturday, November 25, 2025, Grind Board members, staff and volunteers joined family members and friends in the Grind’s Coffee House to remember and celebrate the lives of John Markus, Jean Paul Lariviere and Fraser Strachan. John, Jean Paul and Fraser each played a significant role in shaping and supporting The Grind Pembroke’s ministry. Their impact on the organization continues to be felt cherished.

Beautiful plaques mounted on a Memorial Wall in the Coffee House, which incorporates a photo and tribute for each of the men honoured were unveiled by family members.
