John Albert Paradise , 54, died Wednesday March 16, 2016 in Goffstown, NH, with his loved ones by his side. He was born on November 11, 1961 in Manchester, NH, the son of Aime R. Paradis and Pauline Paradis Wood. He was the loving partner of Jason Record. They resided in West Hollywood, California. John was a 1979 graduate of Goffstown High School, where he was Senior Class President, an accomplishment he was very proud of. After high school, he went on to graduate from Northeastern University in 1984 with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing. A thirst for knowledge led him to pursue another degree, this time in Broadcast Communications, again from Northeastern University. John had a very successful career with New York Air, something that gave him the opportunity to travel to many wonderful places and make friends from every corner of the globe. This inspired John to pack his bags and move to Hollywood, where he started The Paradise Group Talent Agency, specializing in the representation of on-camera talent for television and live events. Also with his partner, Jason Record, together they formed Paradise Record Group, a consulting firm that provides expertise in the fields of Entertainment and Real Estate. John was always a perfectionist and a leader. He was the type of person who would always lend a hand to help others, but never without a touch of endearing sarcasm. One of his proudest accomplishments was becoming an Eagle Scout and a member of the Order of the Arrow, a society that honors scouts who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law. He leaves behind his loving partner of 21 years Jason L. Record, his mother Pauline Paradis Wood her husband Richard M. Wood, brother James R. Paradis his wife Denise, sister Anne E. Paradis her husband Steven Repoza, brother-in-law Lionel G. Poirier, his uncle Albert J. LaMothe and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins. John was predeceased by his father, Aime R. Paradis and his sister, Paula Paradis Poirier. Private services will be held at Phaneuf Funeral Home.

I was thinking of John and recently sent him an email and just learned of his passing. I worked with John many years ago at New York Air, he was the best guy I ever worked with. He was well loved by a lot of our co-workers. May he R.I.P.

I am so saddened for all of John's family, loved ones and friends. I have such fond memories from GHS, although he was 2 years ahead of me, we were on Student Council together. I won't go into the antics of what Dodi Marvell, John and I did together. Lots of laughs! Inability to be quiet in the library! John....thanks for being a part of my GHS years....you made them only better.
RIP, from the pictures I saw it looks like you a great life in the time you were given! <3

John was a good friend to my twin sister Crissy and myself. We would pass notes to each other in study hall as we were in high school together. Our notes would be silly and fun. Truth be told I had a crush on you back then ;) I am sure Crissy was there to great him in heaven and they will be passing notes and laughing all over again....blessings to all his family and friends.
