John Gianguilli Obituary

John Gianguilli Jr. passed away on Jan. 18, 2025, at the age of 70 with his beloved wife, Cherie, and pup, Pookie, by his side. He was born in Trenton, New Jersey, on July 24, 1954, to Vera Greif and John Gianguilli Sr.

He is proceeded in death by both of his parents. He leaves behind his loving wife, Cherie; children, Rob (Dawn), John (Carly), Tena, and Joey (Ashley); 11 grandchildren, four great-grandchildren; and his beloved Aunt Aunie.

John had a robust life. His passions were hunting, fishing and trapping. He could throw down with the best of them. Everyone's friend, he had an exciting and adventurous life. He was serious, quirky and had love for everyone. He would come into your life and you'd never be the same. He did things John's way and on John's terms. He left memories to last a lifetime.

There will be a celebration of life July 24, 2025, (his birthday) in North Pole, Alaska.
