John Liberty Obituary

SOUTH GLENS FALLS --- John P. Liberty, age 59, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, January 9, 2026.

Born December 31, 1966 in Glens Falls, he was the son of Jack and Joan (Corlew) Liberty.

John was the owner and operator of Liberty Handyman Services, LLC, which he proudly ran for 10 years. Through his work, he was known for his reliability, skill and dedication to helping others. John took pride in honest work and serving his community, always willing to lend a helping hand when needed.

He will be remembered for his strong work ethic, practical talents and the lasting impression he left on those fortunate enough to know him.

His greatest passions in life were his family, hunting, and cruising with Lynn and their close friends, Dave and Stacy Berry.

He was predeceased by his parents, Jack and Joan Liberty.

Left to cherish his memory are his soulmate, Lynn Canini and their dogs, Sasha and Meisha; his son, Denver Liberty; his sister, Joy Elms; niece, Megan (Joe) Elms; his bonus children, Josh Canini, Kristin (Dylan) Canini, and Kailyn (Sean) Canini; his bonus parents, Roger and Junelynn Jones; and several bonus grandchildren who affectionately called him "Johnny;" as well as aunts, uncles, and cousins.

There will be no calling hours. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

If desired, donations can be made in John's name to Alfie's Rescue, c/o Jen Atchinson, 4 Greenway Rd., South Glens Falls, NY 12803, or through their website alfiesrescue.com.

I'm sorry we have to say goodbye like this. You were a special part of our family for so long. My children are feeling your passing. We are all in disbelief. Yet I know your heart longed to see your parents who were also taken too soon. I so appreciated the days when we looked on as Denver and Drezden played together. The age difference never mattered. Time is a terrible thing to waste, because you never know when God will call us home. Rest easy now and enjoy eternity. See you again someday.❤❤

John did many renovations and updates at our home during the last couple of years. His work ethic was strong and the work he did was always very well done. He was funny and enjoyable to chat with during the time he was here completing his projects . Anything big or small he was there for us, there was nothing that he wasn't willing to do. We shared many stories about our dogs and he spoke of his family with pride. Our condolences to his family and those who he has left behind him. May he rest peacefully

John had a heart as big as his strength, and a kindness that showed in everything he did. If something needed fixing, John was there. If someone needed help, John showed up. No questions asked.

He leaves behind a legacy of loyalty, love, and generosity that will never be forgotten. My heart is broken, but I’m so grateful to have known him.

Rest easy, John. You will always be remembered.
