John Jackowski Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Reed Funeral Home - Canton Chapel on Aug. 9, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

John David Jackowski born 5-15-59 to Agnes and Joseph Jackowski in Los Angeles Ca. He and Missy (Mary Petitti) moved to Canton in 1997 and were married shortly thereafter and have been together for 45 years.

John died unexpectedly on 8-1-25. His absence is felt deeply by his wife, friends, nieces and nephews, sisters-in-law, Kathy (Dave) Myers, Leah Petitti Ouellette (Edward) and Denise Farmakidis (Gus). He was pre- deceased by Antonia Mancini (Joseph) and Anthony Petitti Jr.

He loved hiking, surfing, golfing, cooking and whatever he put his mind to at the moment. That brilliant mind, outlook, intensity, physicality and huge heart will be forever and intensely missed.

A Memorial Mass will be held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church (Canton) on Thursday, August 14, 2025 a 11:00 AM. Online condolences and fond memories may be left for the family at wwww.reedfuneralhome.com

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
