John Doheny Obituary
Doheny, John Vincent
Passed away on April 17, 2022. John was born on October 13, 1958 to the late Donald and Catherine Doheny in St. Louis, MO. Beloved husband of Sarah "Sally" Zickel with whom they raised three amaz- ing children: John Jr. "Jack",
Barbara "Bea", and Henry.
He attended De Smet Jesuit High School, University of Notre Dame and University of Dayton Law School. John was a distinguished Tax Attorney working for over 30 years in private practice.
Retired Lieutenant Colonel, John proudly served in the US Army Reserves for 23 years. He volunteered many hours to The St. Louis Fisher House, MOAA and St. Mary Magdalen Pack 361.
He is survived by his siblings: late Donald Jr. (Mary Kay), Celeste (John) Kennedy, Ellen (Andy) Cornwell, Ted (Kim), Will (Debbie), Madonna Doheny, Mom Z, loving in-laws, nieces, nephews, count- less friends and neighbors.
He was a man of deep faith, strong work ethic, and a smile that would light up any room. We will miss his Irish jokes, random acts of kindness, and huge giving heart.

So sorry to hear of John´s passing. We served together at Scott AFB. He was an original member (Plankholder) of USTRANSCOM and a dynamic officer, fun to be around. His wry smile and humorous stories will be missed. Fair winds my friend!

John was passionate about helping military members, veterans and their families, and selflessly committed his time and talent as President of the Fisher House in St Louis community group supporting the Fisher House for the St Louis VA Health Care System. His affable manner, leadership and passion for helping others was remarkable and an example for us all. Our hearts go out to his family and friends as they mourn his passing and hope they will be comforted by a life well lived.

Mr Doheny would come into our office with a smile and handed me several returns from his clients. He will be greatly missed. My prayers go to the family.

I´m sorry that I will be unable to attend John´s visitation. I worked with John for at least 25 years in an adversarial role at the IRS but John was no adversary. He was a good guy to talk with & represented his clients well. I respected John. You will be missed my friend. My deepest sympathy to John´s family & friends.
