John Cecil Obituary
While his love for sports was great, it came nowhere near the love he had for his family. As a father of three and a grandfather to 8, he made sure to do everything he could to provide them with as much joy and happiness as they did for him.
He is survived by his wife Lisa, his two sons Johnny (Hannah) and Erik, his daughter Emma (Ryan), 8 grandchildren (Gavin, Anna Molly, Jen, Kira, Charlotte, Cali, Aleena, and Adam). He is also survived by 8 brothers and sisters.
His presence will be truly missed.

I worked with John for over 10 years at UPS. He was a GREAT man. We had some fun times. He loved his Cardinals. He will be truly missed.
