John LoCoco Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gentry-Morrison Funeral Homes - Southside Chapel on Dec. 5, 2025.
John Baptiste LoCoco, of Lakeland, Florida, passed in the community he loved. Born in Newark, New Jersey, John was the son of Nicholas and Josephine Geloso LoCoco.

John spent his professional life in the technology field, working as a computer consultant with AT&T.

In his later years, John made his home at Foxwood Lake Estates in Lakeland, where he embraced an active lifestyle and built lasting friendships. He was beloved by neighbors.

A lifelong and devoted New York Yankees fan, John often proclaimed that he "lived and died a Yankee fan," a sentiment that brought a smile to all who knew him.

John is survived by his sister, Emerida "Emetha" Radek and her husband Stephen, along with his nieces and many dear friends who will forever cherish his memory.

A graveside service will be held on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. at Serenity Gardens Cemetery.
