Life Story
Two of the hardest things to say in life are hello for the first time and goodbye for the last time.
It all started in 1961,
John Timothy Sieber Sr. was born September 12th, 1961, in Bayshore New York. He was raised by his mother Jean and father William and grew up with his six siblings: Diane, Billy, Lisa, Marie, Nancy, and Kelly. They spent their childhood growing up on Evergreen Avenue in CI to Crescent Drive in Brentwood to when they bought their last family home on Scotch Pine drive in Islandia throughout the years from CI to Brentwood he acquired many names that he was known as. Johnny's middle name should have been trouble as he was born with fire and ice in his heart. Most knew him as Johnny, Johnny Boy, Prick, Uncle Ball Buster, Uncle Breaker, The Gigolo Who Ain't Got No Dough, Pain in the Ass, One Punch Johnny, Brat, Daddy, and Grandpa. From the time he was a little kid he would make trouble he grew up as Forrest Gump for a while as he needed braces for his legs and special shoes that he peed in but if he was here to tell it he would say it never happened, that they were so poor they couldn't afford those shoes and him and his brother Billy would share shoes and hand me downs and alternate days where they had to walk barefoot in the snow up the hill to school in the freezing cold. When he was in kindergarten, he met Derrick because they were fighting, and the principal said that they had to become best friends and no more fighting forever they had to promise from that day forward Derrick became part of the family. Johnny always found himself in a predicament. When he was young his father told him if he was in a fight and couldn't win to grab the biggest stick and hit the other guy his mother said he wish he never told him that because after that day he was unstoppable hence One Punch Johnny, he even locked his teacher in the trunk of the car and threw the keys in the river. He was a smart mouth barefoot badass. When he was a teenager, he saw people walking down the road with their golf clubs and yelled at them to give them to him. They yelled back F U and he took off after them barefoot, beat them up with their own clubs and came back without a scratch on him. When his brother in law Todd passed one of the nights a fight broke out and they went through his sister Diane's window and when the
cops pulled up they asked him "What's your story and he said what? and the cop said what's your story he responded oh my story it all started back in 1961 my mom and dad had a bouncing baby boy the cop stopped him and said not your story of your life your story of what happened here he responded oh I didn't see what happened and even if I did I wouldn't rat my nephews out find out from some other rat." After he moved to scotch pine is when he met his wife donna he moved to mastic and started a family throughout the years they had 4 kids: Johnny Boy, Kristina, Deanna, and Justin. Over the years he remained himself with his trouble making he was always the life and noise of the party from his degree from the hard knocks university to strip clubs to fourth of July parties. He loved to throw the biggest, loudest fourth of July parties he always had to have the best from fireworks to trucks loud and proud like his motorcycles. He was the first to throw a punch and the last to tell the story. He was always singing and making up songs from "Anybody here have an aardvark" to "we on the welfare, we ain't got no money" to "loving his government cheeses" so much he would run up the hill steal a block a cheese and take off down the block he had the gift of gab and the fastest talker. When he was in the trucks, he was always on the CB talking smack and joking with the other drivers. The stories are countless like the Manhattan "Rub and tug" with the 17 cassone trailers outside on the main road or the south of the border stops with mamason or that when he didn't have his license for years he would use his brother Billy's date of birth every time he got pulled over or got a ticket and he would have Billy go into court and say it wasn't him and get it dropped because the officers would say that wasn't the guy he ticketed. To the point that till this day he believed he was a year older because he stayed saying the wrong birthday. He spent 20 years with his wife before they divorced, and once he did, he started a new chapter of his life where he added two more children to his family: Jaden and Gianni while still in mastic. Then he moved to Florida and had two more kids: Jenna and Baby John. He spent the past 10 years living in spring hill with his family where he continued to be the best tow guy around. Although Johnny was a tough ass he had a huge heart. He would give the shirt off his back no matter what time you called him whether for work or for personal problems he would come running in his underwear and all. As most of you have seen and the whole neighborhood because he lived outside in his underwear barefoot you could call him and he could walk you through almost any car trouble over the phone and get you up and running, if it was an oversized roll over call he'd be the first on scene and get it upright in minutes although a troublemaker Johnny was always a kid at heart from name calling to riding quads, go karts, dirt bikes, jet skis and just anything with a motor, he never stopped and lived every moment to the fullest he became the biggest baby whenever babies were around couldn't help but to show them off take pictures or video call and claim them as his own. His cooking skills were like nobody you'd known and his secrets he kept to himself so when he had to cook for parties or just a family dinner, he could show off his skills to keep you coming back. After all of his cooking duties you could always find him fast asleep with his shirt off on the nearest couch around. During his nap times many pranks were played between shaving cream and feathers to hot dogs and half shaven beards. He loved going to
the casinos always playing 13 black on the roulette "let it ride" his jokes continued on even with his grandchildren where he believed his grandson was gonna be a chemist and make him "chemical compounds" to sell "legally" never giving up on a get rich scheme. Even into his late age he was always willing to work in any way needed to help support his family and those around him that needed it, being a sole supporter for his kids and even people that he would let live with him for most of his life.
Johnny is reunited with his parents Jean and William Sieber, as well as his sisters Theresa Ann Sieber and Diane Miller, his brothers-in-laws Todd, Frank, and Mike, niece Dottsie and nephew Eddie Jr.
Johnny was the best brother, uncle, father, and grandpa that he could be a void that will be truly missed by many.
Death cannot be a person's end if you can live on in those who have been left behind, they continue to influence our everyday decisions and their love in indelible ink in their memories. Those beautiful moments you share with us remind us of the great man you were.
