When things returned to normal after the second cholera epidemic, Molson's railroad project began to gain speed.
Unfortunately, he did not live long enough to see his last dream realized.
Molson caught a high fever in December 1835.
He wrote his will on January 11, 1836, and died that day.
In his will, Molson named John Molson junior, Thomas Molson, William Molson, George Moffatt and Peter McGill executors.
His remains now rest in a family mausoleum at Mount Royal Cemetery.

In 1955, a historian noted that of the many and myriad businesses started in 18th-century Montreal, only three remained to that date.
The Molson Coors Brewing Company still has the dominant share of the beer industry in Canada.
