It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we share the passing of John Nys, a dear friend, teammate, and coach whose loss has left the agility community devastated. John passed away last night, leaving behind a legacy of support, kindness, and inspiration that touched so many.
Friends and colleagues remember John not only for his expertise but for the genuine care he showed to everyone around him. One poignant memory shared by a teammate recalls how John found her in the stands at the World Championships, offering reassurance when she was overwhelmed by doubt. His belief in her handling plan gave her the confidence to succeed, a testament to the quiet strength he carried and shared.
“John was always supportive, always there when you needed him most,” the teammate said through tears. “The agility world will never be the same without him.”
The loss is deeply felt by all who knew John — a mentor, friend, and coach whose spirit and encouragement helped shape countless successes.
As the community grieves, they hold onto memories of John’s unwavering support and the impact he made on their lives. Rest in peace, John. You will be missed more than words can say. 😭
