Family Tribute

John "Jay" grew up in Wyandotte and spent his most recent years living in Southgate.

A proud veteran of the U.S. Army, he could always be found mingling with others at veteran clubs, organizations, and events in and around Wyandotte. He spent a significant amount of time at the VA Medical Center in Detroit where he maintained multiple cherished relationships with fellow veterans and staff members.     

Although physical limitations tried to slow him down, he wouldn’t have it. He knew the limits on his electric scooter and he tested them often. A true patriot, John was always wearing or in possession of patriotic hats, pins, flags, and clothing. He was very fond of the Cabela’s store and when he couldn’t visit onsite, he would visit online.

A devout Catholic, John was a very loving and kindhearted man who never let barriers prevent him from living a fulfilling life.
