John Theodore Lovering has been located safely according to his sister Erin Navin.
Lovering went missing on Wednesday night. He also goes by the nickname Teddy.
“This is very uncharacteristic of him, very unusual. And the biggest thing, he didn’t show up for work. He’s never not called in and then (he) didn’t show up for his son’s baseball game, which he has also not done before,” Erin Navin, his sister, said.
“It was Thursday morning when he didn’t show up for work that his bosses got quite concerned because this has never happened before. And so they ended up calling the police to do a wellness check on him,” Navin said.
Navin said that there is a $3000 award for a tip that leads to his whereabouts.
“We’re just very, very concerned for his safety and well-being because nothing like this has ever happened before.” Navin said.
She added that it’s very unlike him to not communicate where he is going or stay in contact.
Navin added that Lovering left a note that was very vague and ambiguous which makes them more concerned for his well-being.
His car is at his house but he took his bicycle with him, according to police.
Navin added that she has reason to believe that he could be around Regina, maybe in a rural municipality (RM). “So one thing you’re hoping is potentially just getting farmers, people to live on acreage is to sort of look around their properties. Let us know if any tips, if you see him or, you know, someone camping or anyone riding a bike down gravel roads.”
She said that he has never suffered from mental health issues but right now he was not in the best state of mind. “There is speculation that there maybe was an event that triggered this in the last week or so, but I just won’t go into too much detail.”
Her message for Lovering is “it would just be that we really want to know that you are safe. We want to know that you are okay. We aren’t mad at you. We just want to know. We’re worried about you. And that we love you very, very much. We’re listening”He works as a full-time employee at Lumsden RM and he really likes to meditate.
