John Peter Washburn, age 80, of Brooklyn, Michigan, passed away peacefully on March 10, 2026, at his residence. He was born on February 27, 1946, in Southfield, Michigan, to Loretta Tucker.

He was preceded in death by his mother Loretta Tucker; grandparents Karl and Irene Fend.

John retired from Ohio Art after a 30-year career as a sales representative.

He cherished his role as a grandfather and enjoyed spending quality time with his family. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
