It is with profound sadness, yet with unwavering faith in God’s promises, that we announce the peaceful passing of John on June 27, 2026, at the age of 64.

He leaves behind his beloved wife, Joanne; his sons, Mathew and Tom (Carolyn); and his cherished daughter, Vianca, who were the pride and joy of his life. He will also be deeply missed by his extended family, friends, colleagues, former students, and all whose lives were enriched by knowing him.
