John Sharrar Obituary


John Austin Sharrar

John Austin Sharrar, 29, of Bothell, WA tragically and suddenly left our lives before his time on Sunday, May 22, 2011.
John was born to the late Sherry Sharrar on February 26, 1982 in Fairfield, CA the youngest of three sons.
He attended Vintage High School in Napa, CA and eventually graduated from Inglemoor High School in Bothell, WA fulfilling his mother's wish that all three of her sons graduate high school. Throughout high school "Johnny" loved wrestling and excelled at every level, but more importantly, loved being with his friends.
In May of 2006, John joined Ironworkers Local 86 and worked as an ironworker up until his untimely death.
John enjoyed spending time outdoors, especially with his dog, Capone, whom he took everywhere.
John was preceded in death by his mother, Sherry; uncle, Bob; and grandmother, Elaine.
He is survived by his older brothers, Kurt and Kelly; his aunt, Helen; his cousins, Joe, John and Jason; his nephews, Damien and Xander; his nieces, Nina, Robin and Gloria; and his girlfriend, Lindsay, who's unborn child gives hope to us all that we might one day see John's mischievous smile once again.
John was laid to rest at Holyrood Cemetery in Shoreline, WA surrounded by his family and closest friends, all of whom loved him dearly and will miss and remember him.
