John D'Angelo Sr. Obituary
John began the final journey of life and entered into eternal rest surrounded by loved ones on August 12, 2023. Loving husband of Lynn D'Angelo; Father of Johnnie (deceased), Alex (Jared), and A.J. (Victoria); Papa of Natalie, Carter, Magdalena, and Lucia; Friend of anyone who spoke with him for longer than 5 minutes.
For John, life was always an adventure. Many were blessed to join him in his travels, and the rest waited eagerly for the next Facebook post. He truly believed and lived life exemplifying that there is so much to see and so little time. Everyone knew that being with John meant having fun, which is why with him it was always "5 O'Clock Somewhere". Whether it was for minutes or hours, any conversation with John left one feeling like they were the only person in the world.
If John could share one last thought with you it would be: "Do it now because tomorrow may never come. Take extra time to love and spend time with family and friends. After God, they are all that really matters."
For a final farewell, please join us in celebrating his life on Saturday, August 26, 2023 for a 10:00 AM Funeral Mass at St. Albert the Great Church 6667 Wallings Road, North Royalton followed by a sharing of memories in the Parish Life Center until 2:00 PM. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations in John's name to support the mission of Damascus.

Dear Lynn and family,
We only heard of this sad news yesterday and our hearts are breaking for you. John was so full of fun and laughter! He coached our boys together in baseball and football. We have so many wonderful memories, especially when the boys played flag football downtown at the stadium. Now John is with his beloved Johnnie and in the arms of our loving Lord. Our faith keeps us going through this painful time of grieving, but we know we will see him again. Prayers to you all.
Love, the Gabanic family

Dear Lynn and family,
We could hardly believe this sad news! I still remember the boy Johnny in 1967 in Paris, the young man who invited me in 1985 to have a real `hamburger´ with him at the shore of the lake Erie, and the proud father when we visit the family in 1994. We hoped that one day he would come over to Europe once again, but now we will miss him dearly.
I need not tell you how deeply we feel for you in your grief. We will light a candle and pray for him and the entire family to the Holy Virgin 'Causa nostrae laetitiae' in the cathedral of Tongeren (Belgium) .
Courage!
Dany and Ann Lousbergh-Vanhees and family

What a beautiful life ended way too soon! My deepest sympathy to all of you- while heaven gained an Angel- those on earth share a great loss

Remembering all the good times around the campfires and playing bingo in Lake Wales. It may have only been a few weeks, but the friendship seemed as though it had been years. We are deeply saddened by the news of John's passing. May all these sweet memories help to heal our broken hearts. Keeping Lynn and the family in our thoughts and prayers.
