John Kwaitkowski Obituary
John was the eldest of six children born to John and Elizabeth Kwiatkowski. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, he carried his strong roots and work ethic with him throughout his life before retiring to Delray Beach, Florida.
John proudly served his country in the United States Air Force and went on to dedicate nearly 30 years of distinguished service to the New York City Fire Department. He served in Brooklyn at Firehouse 201, whose motto, "Can Do," perfectly reflected the way John lived his life. Known as a fearless and determined firefighter, he earned the respect of his brothers and sisters in the FDNY. Following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, John stood shoulder to shoulder with his fellow firefighters, assisting in the recovery efforts during one of the most heartbreaking chapters in our nation's history.
John had a larger-than-life personality and could light up any room with his humor and quick wit. He loved gathering for happy hours with family and friends, spending time on the golf course, and traveling the world with his beloved wife of 20 years, Marie. Together they built a life filled with laughter, adventure, and love.
He was a devoted father to Sean, Tara, and Timothy. Above all else, the light of his life was his grandson, John, who brought him endless pride and joy.
John will be forever loved, always missed, and never forgotten.
