John Patrick Magarian, 76, of West Columbia, passed away on June 13, 2023, while surrounded by his loving family. John was born on April 29, 1947, to Leo and Mary Quinn Magarian in Manhattan, New York. John was survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Virginia Magarian.
A true American, John proudly served his country in the United States Army. John loved sneaking away to fish in Florida, shopping at Costco, watching horse racing, and catching up on American politics. He will always be remembered for his love of his family and the smile he would put on everyone's face. As a faithful believer, he would be sure to always share the love of Christ, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, to everyone he met.

John was a good friend and I enjoyed the time spent with him and his family. He loved music and telling stories of his childhood. He had a lot of fond memories of Belmont Race Track with his father and what it was like growing up in an era that no longer exists. He did real estate with me as well as serving court papers to keep busy when Virginia was working. Thank you John for being a part of my life and to his wife Virginia for the laughs we got from it. There will never be another like him!
