Dear Family and Friends,

Our brother, John, has been called home. He was greeted by his father Gilbert, father-in-law Gil, sister Michele, grandparents Juan and Annie, Uncle Jimmy, and nephew Aaron.

He is survived by his loving wife of forty-two years, Kathy; his mother, Maxine; sister Nikki; son Karl and fiancée Amanda; son Westin and wife Melody; grandchildren Jovanni and Aria; as well as brothers and sisters-in-law, and many nieces and nephews.

John will also be remembered by many coworkers and lifelong friends. In his earlier years, he was a dune buggy enthusiast who shared that passion with his father. Most recently, he enjoyed woodworking and rode motorcycles whenever he had the chance.

It is bittersweet that he was peaceful and free right before his untimely death. We are grateful for the good times and the bad and will forever miss him. He suffered from COPD and other health issues that took their toll.

The family is planning a celebration of life at a later date.

“Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sadness, joy.”

Arrangements have been entrusted to the caring and compassionate professionals at
