John Nugent Obituary
John was born on July 22, 1953 in Detroit, Michigan, to his parents Warren and Marion Nugent.
John lived a remarkable life with a variety of experiences. John started his career at Pepper Construction as a laborer and eventually retired as a senior superintendent of Pepper Construction after an eventful 37 years. He also ferociously battled and conquered lung cancer. John's perseverance was second to none. In his spare time, John enjoyed quality family time, his dog Gonzo, and spending time outdoors. John was known by everyone he met for being a caring, loving, and exceptional man.
John is survived by his wife, Mary Jo; son Jon, daughters Hannah and Melanie; brothers Jeff and Ted; sister Kathy; grandchildren Raegan and Sully; son-in-law Quinn; and numerous nieces and nephews. John was preceded in death by his parents.
Arrangements were completed by the Butala Funeral Homes and Crematory, Sycamore, IL. To sign the online guest book, go to www.ButalaFuneralHomes.com

Just found out about John’s passing, very sad. I always enjoyed working on his jobs. He had a great sense of humor, thankfully. There were many times several of us could have been shown the door, John always took it in stride. Love and prayers for his family.

John was a great friend and neighbor in Crystal Lake, Illinois. The man was great company. Even though many years have passed since then, and this news hits heavy. Good speed to you my good friend. Jim Hermann
