We are heartbroken to share that John passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday evening. He suffered a sudden heart attack while enjoying one of his favorite activities: his Tuesday evening mountain bike ride with the Drafters.

Our family is taking the next few days to process and begin making arrangements, and we are so grateful for the outpouring of love and support from near and far.

We are planning a celebration of life on Sunday, April 26—John’s birthday. Please RSVP via this website if you can join us in Deerfield, MA.
