John Pacosa Obituary
Born in Northampton, Massachusetts, John is predeceased by his parents, John Peter Pacosa and Gladys Kaprasiewski Pacosa of Easthampton, Massachusetts.
John is survived by his beloved wife of 50 years, Anne Pacosa, with whom he shared a life built on mutual love for each other and the Lord. He was a proud father to his son, John "Josh" Pacosa, married to Sarah Melinda Pacosa, whose life he enriched by showing what it truly was to be a great husband and father. John loved being a grandfather to Jack, Langston, Melinda Jane, and Alice Pacosa, who will forever cherish the memories of the love, stories, and laughter they shared with their "Pe-pa."
John dedicated over 30 years of his life working for the United States Air Force Reserve as a Contract Negotiator, where his commitment to his country and to the people he served was unwavering. His work ethic and sense of duty were evident in every aspect of his career, where he made lasting contributions and forged relationships that stood the test of time. After retirement, he dedicated his time to the Christian Service Center, which he later told his grandson Jack was "his most important work."
John's life was a testament to the values of integrity, faith, and quiet generosity. He was a man of principle, always ready to lend a hand or a smile. Those who knew him for a long or a short time were blessed by his kindness, respect and love for others.
The family will hold a celebration of life service at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Swannanoa on Wednesday, August 21st at 12:00 pm, with luncheon and burial afterward. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Christian Service Center of Warner Robins, GA in his honor. Donations can be made online or sent to 136 Northview Avenue, Warner Robins, GA, 31088.
His legacy of love and faith will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
