John Sr. & Beverly Langevin Obituary
**John Paul Langevin, Sr.**
Born on March 15, 1952, in Detroit, Michigan, to Narcisse Lucien (Luke) Langevin and Jeanette (Lauzon) Langevin, John lived a life defined by service and dedication. A proud United States Marine Corps veteran stationed at Camp LeJeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina, he met Beverly there, beginning a love story that would span over five decades.
John transitioned his military expertise into a distinguished career in aviation mechanics. As Director of Aviation Maintenance, he ensured the safety of numerous aircraft fleets, including serving as the senior mechanic for the Hospital Wing helicopter fleet in Memphis, Tennessee, for over 16 years. He later lent his expertise to Palm Air and DynCorp International in Iraq before retiring. John was also a devoted brother to Yvonne (Langevin) O'Banion and Louise Purpura.
**Beverly Ann (Cook) Langevin**
Born on December 4, 1955, at the Naval Medical Center on Camp LeJeune to Master Sergeant JT Cook and India Mae (Gurganus) Cook, Beverly was a proud North Carolinian. She attended Coastal Carolina Community College and later pursued various professional roles, including as a licensed real estate agent. However, her greatest joy was her role as a stay-at-home mother, dedicating her life to her family.
Beverly cherished time with her grandchildren, Blakely Mae and Rylan Paul Hale, and was a beloved sister to Linda Fay Mabry and Nancy Cook Camara.
**Together in Life and Beyond**
John and Beverly are survived by their children, John "J.P." Langevin, Jr., and Danielle Langevin Hale. Their shared faith in God and devotion to family were the cornerstones of their lives together.
A joint Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at 11:00 AM at Grace Community Church, 2018 Bartlett Road, Memphis, TN 38134. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Surf City, North Carolina (https://www.seaturtlehospital.org), honoring their enduring legacy.

Just this afternoon I found out John has passed and my heart goes out to you and all of John´s Family.
I had the honor to serve with John when in HML-167 and deployed with him with HMM-261 Composite Squadron onboard USS New Orleans LPH-2 during 1973 /1974 crisis. I joined the Corps a year after him and he was a mentor and great Marine.
I lost track of him after I was transferred to the far east but often thought of him throughout the years.
Your entire family will be in my nightly prayers. May God Bless You and ease your pain.
Respectfully
I attached the aircraft John crewed for 9 months, if it flew John crewed it in Mediterranean deploy, War Alert. Clearing Suez Canal, MEDEVAC, logistics flights.

My dearest Danielle and family,
I am your cousin Suzanne from Ottawa, Canada. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I have many great memories of John and Beverly, your wonderful parents. My fondest memories of all of you is when I went to visit your Grandma Jeannette when she was living in Bartlet, and I took my Mom for a visit. We had such a wonderful time and most of all was when your Dad took us to visit Graceland. I will always cherish this time in my heart. May God give you strength during this difficult time. Thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless You.
Cousins from Ottawa,
Roland, Suzanne and Raymond (Cousineau)

I have countless memories of both of your parents. My favorite memory of Mrs. Bev was when she gave my only daughter her first sink bath when she was only 8 months old. Your Mom loved both of my children like they were her very own grandchildren.
Your Dad was always under the hood of my car. He never let me leave without checking the oil, my tires and making sure that I would be safe on the road as I traveled back home with my children.
Both of your parents were amazing, kind hearted humans and I will never forget them.
