OLIVE TREE ANSWER: Hi Pat, It helps to fill out your ancestor's life as completely as possible even though you are looking for one specific record - his death. Since you don't know what country John died in (Canada or USA) or a year of death, you should consider gathering other records to narrow down your search.
Since he was born in Ontario and moved to Michigan, a good resource to start with would be the Border Crossing Records. A look at Border Crossings: From Canada to U.S., 1895-1956 on Ancestry.com shows that John crossed to the USA at Detroit Michigan on Oct 1923. There is more information on the actual image. He is with his wife Emma. Their ages, his occupation, his mother's name and address and his final destination in USA is recorded.
John Lackenbauer is also found in the Ancestry.com database Detroit Border Crossings and Passenger and Crew Lists, 1905-1957 in September 1923
In 1895 Canada and USA established a joint inspection system. These CANADIAN BORDER CROSSING records were microfilmed. They cover 1895-1954 and are indexed. They do NOT
include Canadians before 1906. After September 30, 1906 both Canadians and non-Canadians are included on these lists.
