Lyman Ward

Mr. Lyman Ward (born June 21st, 1941) died violently in hospice on October 23rd, 2025 (TBV) with his son nearby. His cause of death was reportedly pneumonia. He was 84 years old when he passed.

Lyman is survived by his parents, Nancy Ward and Daddy Ward, beloved wife Cindy Pickett ​, his two sons as well as his pet skunk, Tootsie.

Professionally, Lyman was a Film Actor who was best known for his role as Ferris Bueller's father in the popular American cult film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".

When he was not working as a Film Actor, Lyman was known for his love of volunteering and he would spend a jiffy most weeks practicing. Mr. Ward (the deceased) also spent ages visiting with his older sister most Mondays when he was able to spare a few a jiffy. Ever since he was a boy in Saint John, many remember Lyman as a jerk with entertaining jokes that engrossed everyone. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a cash donation to the Heart Foundation in Lyman's honor.

A somber party is scheduled for Monday the 2nd at the church in Saint John. The service will commence at 9AM with a reception at the burial place where refreshments will be served. All are welcome to the visitation to be held at church at 9AM.
