John Bazzanella was born in Italy and came to Canada in 1962. Brought here by his biological mother Mary and his step mother to be Marcella Bazzanella, John Bazzanella has had a difficult up-bringing being raised by his step parents Marcella Bazzanella and Rubino Bazzanella.

His freedom in his early life of his twenties was cut short after getting incarcerated for committing a crime of Attempted Murder on a police officer by ramming a police cruiser. What followed before and after this crime and incarceration was shocking to say the least.
