John Bonner Obituary
John Joseph Bonner, age 62, of Quakertown, Pennsylvania, passed away on August 1, 2025, at Doylestown Hospital.
He was the longtime partner of Kathleen Karuza, with whom he shared 40 years. Born in Abington, PA, John was the son of David Bonner and Marie Stewart McGinn.
A 1981 graduate of Quakertown High School, John worked as a textile technician for Avient in Hatfield until his passing. He previously held a supervisory role at Sears.
John enjoyed gardening, cooking, shopping, traveling, and spending time with animals. He appreciated good conversation, especially in the company of women, and liked going to dinner with friends and family. His travels took him to Ireland, Vancouver, and Amsterdam, with Ireland holding special meaning due to his Irish heritage and family roots.
He proudly bought his first car with money he won in Atlantic City.
In addition to his partner Kathleen, he is survived by his father, David Bonner, and brothers, Michael Bonner and Jeffrey Bonner.
