John Tamillo

John "Johnny" "J.T." Tamillo In loving memory of John Tamillo 7/20/1955 – 4/6/2018 John was born in Chicago, Illinois to Dorothy and Walter Tamillo. He worked as a master carpenter and continued in this trade after moving to Phoenix, AZ., in 1978. In 1985 he started a new and proud career as a Phoenix firefighter until his retirement in 2011. John loved his family, friends and fellow firefighters. He was an avid fisherman and enjoyed taking people out on his boat to ski or fish. He opened up his home countless times to family and friends and enjoyed entertaining them, hosting cookouts and holding parties. He had unlimited energy and loved good music, dancing and was an expert pool player. A true go-getter, John was also a very successful realtor for over 25 years and always found a way to seal the deal. He was excellent with construction and was busy in his spare time with renovating and restoring houses. Like his nickname, he was 'Johnny on the spot' for anyone who needed help repairing, remodeling or getting real estate advice. He leaves behind his caring wife Gia, and his beloved children, son Jared Vandenheuvel (Hanh) and daughter Danielle Tamillo. John was the devoted brother of Sharon (John) Valentini; Bob Tamillo (Bonnie); Denny (Leon) Brudnicki; Sandy (Bob) Sea; Cathy (Marty) Stieber; and Walt Tamillo, and was the fond and warmhearted Uncle Johnny to numerous nieces and nephews. He touched many of us with his fun loving spirit and will forever remind us to live our lives to the fullest.
