John Angelo Obituary
Falmouth, Ma - John Andrew Angelo of Falmouth, MA, died on May 22 after a long illness, at the UVM Medical Center in Burlington, VT. He was 22 years old.
John was a 2017 graduate of Falmouth High School, where he was a member of the Wind Ensemble and Honors Jazz Band, as well as the Music and Math Honor Societies. He was selected in both sophomore and senior years to All-Cape Band, and he played trombone, euphonium and trumpet. He attended Champlain College, majoring in networking and cybersecurity. John was a vocal proponent for social justice and civil rights, and was passionate in his support for Senator Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign.
John worked summers during high school and college at Ben and Bill's in downtown Falmouth, worked after school at the Boys and Girls Club of Cape Cod, and was very proud of his internship as a computer programmer at SAQUS in Falmouth. In addition to his love of music and computers, he enjoyed longboarding, baseball, playing chess and video games, learning guitar, and his friendships. John struggled with mental illness and addiction in the last years of his life. He was greatly loved and will always be in our hearts.
John is survived by his parents, Steve and Ginny Angelo, his sisters Erin and Stephanie, and their families. In addition, he is survived by many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, his niece, three nephews, and treasured family friends. A private memorial service is being planned.
Arrangements are under the care of Champlain Cremation, A Proud Member of the LaVigne Funeral Home Family.

John was an amazing friend to have gotten to known in my time at Champlain. I‘ll never forget the kindness John showed to everybody he met. I never imagined he would lose his life at such a young age. In honor of his life, I put together a Facebook fundraiser for my birthday that raised $730 for Rage Against Addiction. Classmates of John‘s, my friends from my hometown, John‘s own friends, and people who found this fundraiser from other‘s sharing it donated. John‘s life will be remembered by helping others just like he would always make sure to help you when you needed it.

My very deepest sympathies to the Angelo family, most especially Steve and Ginny. I will always remember John as a kind and gentle young boy/teen when I went to various sport, music and school events for my son, Evan Hangley, a friend and classmate of John's. I enjoyed saying hello to Steve and Ginny and exchanging friendly hellos and humorous parenting banter. In later years, it was always a welcome surprise to catch John and his warm smile behind the counter at Ben and Bill's. May he rest in peace. God bless.

Mr. & Mrs. Angelo,
I'm so sorry to hear of John's passing. We weren't particularly close, but I was in John's classes a few times and he was always somebody I could go to if I needed help or a good laugh. He was always the one to break up the stress on test days, and always had a kind word to say about somebody. More recently, I saw him at work and had the opportunity to say hello. He still had the great energy I knew him for, and it makes me happy to know he kept it despite all that was going on in his life.
I pray that John will Rest in Peace, and for the comfort of the Angelo family.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Angelo,
I am so sorry to hear about John's passing. He was such a wonderful kid and I really enjoyed having him in class. He had a special gift to make everyone around him laugh and feel good. It was students like your son that made my career teaching so enjoyable where I consider myself very lucky to have known him.

Dear Ginny and Steve and Family,
I am sending much love and many prayers for peace for your family. When I read of John's achievements and commitment to social justice, I am not surprised. I will never forget the assured young boy who sailed into our classroom announcing he was going to be a reporter! And he often practiced the art of the interview when he wasn't too busy playing or making art. Somewhere I am sure I still have his "notes" from interviewing Sheila and me about the Conservatory. He had spent a long time formatting a paper with neatly spaced rows of "Q:"s and "A:"s. He handed it to me with a pencil and the interview commenced!
I had to race to keep up with his dictation of the questions and try to speak my answers while writing them!
John was a lively, bright and talented student. I am saddened by the loss of such a passionate and ethical force for good in this world!
