John Vasilev Obituary
CUYAHOGA FALLS-John Lewis Vasilev, 66, of Streetsboro, passed away unexpectedly on May 30, 2024. He was born on July 3rd 1957 to George and Marjorie (nee Brueggeman) Vasilev in Akron, Ohio. After graduating from Firestone High School in 1977 he became a machinist. John spent more than 25 years at Lucas Aerospace and retired from Norman Noble.
Always up for fun, he enjoyed time with his family, friends, and coworkers. He especially loved boating, fishing and riding his motorcycle. John’s quiet manner hid his playful attitude.
John was preceded in death by his parents and great nephew Nathaniel Diloreto. He is survived by Desiree Simpson (married 1980-1987) son Jason (Debra) Vasilev, grandchildren, Angelina Perez (Connor Charlton), Natalie and Cole Vasilev, brothers Tom (Joyce) and David Vasilev, nephew and niece Brian and Jennifer Vasilev, his companion Paulette Elwood and his many aunts, uncles, and cousins. We will all miss Johnny and his special way of showing love.
