John Foley Obituary

John Leslie Foley, affectionately known as Jackie, passed away, leaving behind a legacy of excellence in sports, unwavering dedication to his work, and a lifetime of cherished memories with family and friends. and, most importantly, his profound love and devotion as a dad.

A revered athlete, Jackie was known for his skill, sportsmanship, and determination, inspiring countless others both on and off the field. His passion for competition was matched by his commitment to his career, where he retired from UPS after years of dedicated service. He approached his work with discipline and reliability, earning the respect and admiration of colleagues and friends alike.

Above all, Jackie was a devoted dad to his son, Jake Foley, and daughter Maddie Foley Parnell. His greatest joy came from watching them grow, guiding them with wisdom, and cheering them on in every aspect of their lives. His love and support will remain with them always.

Jackie leaves behind Bill and Cathy Foley, and their families, Tracy and Tracy Parke, and their families, and Elizabeth Reedy, who will continue to honor his remarkable legacy and miss him greatly!

A Celebration of his Life will be held at Gilchrist Park, Saturday, May 17th from 12-2:30pm.
