John Stephen Chrzanowski

John Stephen Chrzanowski, a resident of Pagosa Springs, CO, passed away peacefully in his sleep on March 14th, 2022.
Born on September 26th, 1941, and raised in Linden, NJ, John was the son of Helen (nee Wislous) and Walter Chrzanowski. He was a 30 year resident of Roselle Park, NJ.
John is survived by his wife Etelina Chrzanowski, daughter Lexi Jaluria, sons Conrad, John, and Eric, sister Loretta Donatiello, cousin Betty Colavito, granddaughter Rachel, and grandsons Matthew, Vyan, Nalin, Zev, and Caleb.
An athlete and adventurer throughout his life, John skied the world over with many friends, was a black belt in karate, rafted the Colorado River, climbed and skied Mt. Washington, NH. In his 60s and 70s, he regularly rode a motorcycle throughout the Rocky Mountain western states and scuba dived in the Cayman Islands. An electrician by trade, John successfully ran his own electrical business, Alpine Electric (later ABEL Electric), for 50 years. He enjoyed joking, laughing, dancing, debating politics, but most of all enjoyed lovingly passing on the lessons he learned and wisdom he gained throughout his life to his children.
John set many examples, but perhaps his greatest was to not be held back by adversity and to look forward with faith to the following day.
Family and friends are welcome to gather on Sunday, March 27th, 2022 from 2pm to 5pm at Paul Ippolito Summit Memorial, 7 Summit Avenue, Summit, NJ 07901.
