John was born in Haverhill on August 25, 1960, son of the late James and Mary (Anastasiades) Alex.
After John's High School graduation in 1978, he went on to attend Northern Essex Community College and then went on to work for Wang Industries as an electronic technician for many years. He last worked at Market Basket in Haverhill, where he ruly enjoyed talking with all the customers and making a great deal of friends.
John's passion was photography. He did a lot of freelance photography for family and friends. Those who knew John knew that no matter where he went, his camera and equipment went with him and you were going to be in a picture. John also enjoyed spending time at the gun club in Bradford. Let's not forget working on Uncle Paul's ice cream truck.

John also leaves behind his nephew, William James Newhouse and his wife, Sarah Joy, of Southport, North Carolina, his nephew, Nicholas Robert Newhouse of Plaistow, New Hampshire and his great-nephew, Noah Michael Newhouse of Southport, North Carolina, along with many cousins, along with many cousins on both sides of his deceased parent's families.
