John McBride<\/strong><\/div>\n
February 15, 1997<\/strong><\/p>\n

On February 15, John McBride’s soul left his body to begin what he believed would be his next journey. He was 34.<\/p>\n

Since moving to San Francisco in 1983, John’s energies and talents were spent working for and with the deaf communities and the gay and lesbian communities. As a sign language interpreter, he quickly rose in the ranks of interpreters to become both nationally and internationally recognized.<\/p>\n

John spent years as a tireless advocate in the struggle to bring AIDS awareness and education to the deaf community. His commitment to this work began in 1985; his efforts to make sure the deaf \"\"<\/a>community was not overlooked stretched from the United States to Canada and as far as Brazil.<\/p>\n

John’s passions, talents, humor and love are but some of the gifts he has left us with to help heal his loss.\u00a0 he is survived by his mother, sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews, and his loving international family of friends.<\/p>\n

Donations may be made in John’s name to:\u00a0 NorCRID John McBride Memorial Fund, DGLC and The Deaf AIDS Project. A memorial will be held April 12. For information e-mail to\u00a0Hopeberry @ aol.com<\/p>\n
