John Zaucha Obituary

John M. Zaucha "JZ", 69 of Algonquin, born November 15, 1951 to the late Stanley and Tessie Zaucha, died on December 31, 2020. John was the loving husband of Rosemary (nee Fedosena) for 46 years; beloved father of Stephanie (Timothy) Chambers and Matthew (Jessica Goodwin) Zaucha; cherished grandpa of Alexandra Zaucha, Kendall Chambers and Easton Chambers; dear brother of Michael (Sharon) Zaucha and James (Barb) Zaucha; and uncle of Rebecca Zaucha, Ashley Wise and Kimberly Zaucha. John was an avid reader, an accomplished distance runner, and a passionate fan of the Chicago Bears. He enjoyed playing golf with close family and friends. He never missed an opportunity to share his expertise in carpentry and construction especially while assisting his kids on home projects. He cared deeply about environmental causes and was a lifelong learner of the sciences. More than anything, John loved and lived for the time he could spend with his family. Services will be held privately for the family. The family asks in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to your favorite environmental charity to honor John's memory. Arrangements were entrusted to Davenport Family Funeral Home and Crematory, Lake Zurich.

Dear Rosemary,
Barbara Nakanishi RHS '72 shared the news about your husband with classmates. I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. I read his obituary online; what a wonderful man! He had so many interests and number one was his family. I hope that all the memories that you have of him will sustain you through difficult times. I am keeping you and yours in my prayers.

John and I became friends in the 4th grade when he transferred from St. Helens. We shared a lot of memories at Weber and into the '70s. He was my Best Man and my Best Friend. My sympathies to John's family.
