John Donisch Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 11, 2023 at Lightways Hospice Home with his family lovingly by his side. Age 62 years.
Surivved by his son John Robert (Amanda) Donisch and daughter Meghan (Chelsea) O'Neal. Four grandchildren John A., Makenna G. and Callie J. Sonisch and Keziah O'Neal. His three siblings Gary (Lynn) Donisch, Larry (Judy) Donisch and Cyndi (Dave) Misischia. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews whom me loved dearly.
Preceded in death by his wife Diane T. Donisch and his parents John and Mary Donisch.
John was born February 3, 1961 and was a life-long Joliet resident. Graduate of Joliet West High School Class of 1979. John spent most of his free time "Up North" in Hayward, WI. with his family and the friends he found there. He loved boating, snowmobiling and riding his side by side.
John will be remembered as the life of the party. Always behind a grill, drink in hand, surrounded by friends and family. Some might say he lived a life that would have sent a lesser man to his grave much sooner.
In typical John fashion, there are no services planned, certainly no pomp and circumstance. A celebration of life will occur privately with family.
