John Patrick Roach Jr., 60, of Cicero, passed away on Friday, November 12th after a courageous battle with cancer.
He was a North Syracuse native who, in his youth, honorably served in the U.S. Navy on the USS Ashtabula as a machinist.
John's greatest joys were listening to rock & roll, singing, and being an avid game show aficionado. Of all- John's ultimate joy in life was relaxing at the lake with his family. He had the kindest heart, a gentle soul, and most of all treasured his beloved title of, Uncle Johnny. He loved, adored, and cherished his devoted sister Maureen, best friend & brother-in-law Damian, nephew and nieces: Patrick, Kathleen, & Brianna; and step nephews Damian & Nathanial Roberts.
He is predeceased by his two parents, John Patrick Roach & Jean Pinkowski.
John is survived by his sister, Maureen J. Roach (Damian Roberts); nephew: Patrick Sammon (Allison Sammon); and nieces Kathleen & Brianna Sammon.
