John Engelhardt Obituary

Published by Legacy on Nov. 28, 2025.
John L. "Jack" Engelhardt, passed away peacefully on November 24, 2025, at the age of 73. He is survived by his beloved wife, Maureen Engelhardt (nee Donahue), who was the love of his life.

Born in Pittsburgh to the late Donald Engelhardt and Mary Kampmeyer, Jack later moved to the Philadelphia area and graduated from Bishop Egan High School. He went on to build a long and respected career in the automobile industry, working for nearly 50 years in managerial and leadership roles. Most notably, it was during his time at Reedman Toll that he met Maureen, beginning a partnership that would define his life.
Jack loved spending time outdoors, especially fishing, and he found joy and peace in nature. He also had a lifelong love for animals, particularly English Springer Spaniels, who were always treated as part of the family. Jack was a true lover of good food, and he especially delighted in sharing meals with family and friends, known for an eating more shellfish than anyone around the table!
He is survived by his devoted wife Maureen, and by his loving children: John Engelhardt (Katie) and Ryan Engelhardt (Kirsten). Jack was immensely proud of his six grandchildren, who brought him constant joy: Charlotte Engelhardt, Delaney Engelhardt, Larsen Engelhardt, Evelyn Engelhardt, Brooks Engelhardt, and Hadley Engelhardt.

Family and Friends are invited to attend a Viewing on Wednesday, December 3, 2025 at St. Andrew Catholic Church, 81 Swamp Road, Newtown, PA 18940, from 10:00am until the Funeral Mass at 11:00am. Interment will be held privately.
