John Cancellier Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by T.J. Fluehr Funeral Home on Mar. 5, 2026.
John David Cancellier, lifelong resident of Philadelphia, passed away with his family by his side on Monday, March 2, 2026, at the age of 82.

John enjoyed a fulfilling career as the owner operator of his local painting business. His fun-loving personality will be remembered for always telling jokes, playing pranks and scaring family and friends. In his free time, John enjoyed shooting pool. But his proudest moments were those spent being a father to his 4 daughters and he truly lived for his grandchildren.

Beloved father of Toni Dydek (Edward), Gina Cancelliere (Amanda), Mollie Cancelliere (Ryan) and Tricia Cancelliere (Shane); loving grandfather of Victoria, Ava, Jax, Frankie, Lucy and Ollie.

John was predeceased by his parents, Catherine (nee Heffron) and Anthony Cancellier; and his siblings, Joseph, Maria and Cass.

All services will be held privately,
