John Gamble Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Beyers Funeral Home & Crematory - Leesburg on Mar. 2, 2026.
John "Johnboy" Gamble was an amazing, kind man who was loved and respected by all that knew him.

He was a loving husband of 65 years to Edith (Edie) Gamble. An awesome dad to Karen (William) Tranor and Timothy (Patricia) Gamble.

He was a wonderful father figure to more than a few people! John was one of 14 siblings survived by brothers Ray Grubb and Tommy Gamble. He was very proud of his family, including his six grandchildren: John (Katie) Sumner, Jesse (Diana) Sumner, Kymberly (Nate) Thompson, Ty (Brianna) Gamble, Renea Tranor and Robert Tranor. Seven great-grandchildren: Marleigh, Rylie, Laila, Dallas, Stetson, Zoey, and Toby

John was never one to just sit around. He supported his family and community by being a dump truck driver, bee keeper, owner mechanic @ J & J Auto (with brother Joe Grubb) and John's Auto Repair. Owner/race car builder/welder/ fabricator @ Central Florida Race Cars, race car driver, and road grader operator.

A celebration of life will be held on Friday, March 6, 2026 at the Gardenia Center, 205 West Berckman St, Fruitland Park, FL 34731.
