Everyone who knew John experienced his caring, big-hearted personality and sense of humor. He had a passion for creative writing, reading, traveling, and most of all spending time with friends and his family. He was most proud to be the husband to Katelyn White, and father to his daughter, Madison Marie. 

John is survived by his wife Katelyn, daughter Madison Marie, parents John and Elizabeth White, brother and sister-in-law Benjamin and Kirsten White, their daughter Winona Rose, and grandmother Rose Ann Stair. He is also survived by his in-laws Brett and Rosanne Zerba, Diane Zerba, sister-in-law and husband Meghan and Charles Amos and their children Bradley and Cassidy, and brother-in-law and fiancé Brett Zerba and Jackie Giardina, and Katelyn's grandmothers Marie Zerba and Rita Surdyka. He is preceded in death by grandparents John and Happy White, Clark Stair, Richard Zerba, and Edward Surdyka.
