He was also founder of Reepham First Responders.
Trevor Bevan, chairman of Reepham Town Council, said: 'John has been a Reepham town councillor for only two years but in that time he has made a considerable impact on the town.
'The Town Council can ill-afford to lose a member with such commitment, enthusiasm and dedication to the welfare of the people of Reepham. We thank him and wish him well."
The new vacancy on the town council will be advertised and a member co-opted in due course.
