Paul Richard Anthony John

9/15/1960 - 7/04/2023

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Paul "Richie" John, beloved father, son, and brother. He left this world on July 4th of 2023, leaving behind a legacy of positivity, perseverance, and confidence that will forever be remembered.

Born on September 15th of 1960, Richie was a remarkable individual whose life was marked by extraordinary achievements and selfless acts of kindness. Specializing in micro technology, he excelled as an electrical engineer, leaving indelible marks of expertise on every project he worked on. His dedication, passion, and commitment to his work were an inspiration to all who knew him.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Richie was a loving father and a devoted family man. He held his role as a father with utmost importance and was a constant source of guidance, support, and encouragement to his children, Tamara and Randall. He instilled in them the values of integrity, perseverance, and grit - helping to shape them into the individuals they are today. His brothers Carlyle, Patrick and Harvey, as well as his sisters Ann-Marie, Carol and Hermoine, fully understand what a kind, selfless, and extraordinary role model he was, as he held the torch as the oldest child. Richie loved his mother Maureen deeply - she remained one of the most important figures in his life, even as he took his very last breath. His love for his family knew no bounds, and his presence will forever be missed.

A man of many talents and interests, Richie enjoyed playing tennis and customizing automobiles in his free time. But at the same time, whether it was spending time exploring new places, or simply engaging in conversations with loved ones, he found joy in the simplest of moments. His zest for life and adventurous spirit served as an inspiration to all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Richie will be remembered not only for his achievements but also for his kind heart and selflessness. He was always there to lend a helping hand, and his generosity knew no bounds. His impact on his family and the community around him was truly profound.

In the wake of this tremendous loss, Richie is survived by his former wife, Ann-Marie, his children, Tamara and Randall, and his extended family and friends who held him dear. Though he is no longer physically with us, his memory will forever be cherished and his spirit will live on through the lives he has touched.

A celebration of Richie's life will be held on Friday, July 21st of 2023 at Israel Total Life Ministries in Waldorf, MD. Friends, family, and all whose lives were touched by him are invited to pay their respects, share stories, and find solace in the support of one another during this difficult time.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who have expressed their condolences, shared stories, and offered support during this challenging time. Your presence and kind words provide us comfort as we navigate through the days ahead.

Richie will forever be remembered as a remarkable individual whose love, warmth, and wisdom touched the lives of many. May his soul rest in eternal peace, and may we all strive to carry forward his legacy of compassion and goodness.

"Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed, and very dear."

With great love,

The John Family
