John was a lifelong member of St. Elijah Serbian Orthodox Cathedral and held his faith close throughout his life.

Above all else, John’s greatest love was his family. He deeply cherished time spent with those closest to him and found joy in life’s simple moments. Whether he was sharing stories, laughing loudly around the dinner table, or heading out on family adventures—including annual fishing trips to Wisconsin—John had a way of making every moment memorable. He enjoyed listening to music, watching and caring for birds, and always making sure the bird feeders stayed full. Also spending time with his beloved dogs, Emma and Luci, who brought him great joy and companionship. Known for his unmistakable laugh, good sense of humor, John never hesitated to enjoy life to the fullest.

John is preceded in death by his parents Mladen and Desanka “Daisy”, and twin brother, Neil.

He is survived by Rebecca, his loving wife of 36 years, sons Michael (Kirstin), Alexander, Brandon, and Robert (Cortney); his cherished granddaughter, Josephine; his brother, David (Dawn), beloved cousin Nisa (Zivorad) Milosavljevich, and many family members, Kumovi, and lifelong friends who will carry his memory with them always.

John will be fondly remembered and deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His laughter, wisdom, devotion to family, and generous spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

May his memory be eternal.
