IN LOVING MEMORY OF
John J.
Cavanaugh
May 12, 1949 – March 20, 2024
John J. Cavanaugh, 74, of Mahanoy City, PA passed away on March 20th, at his residence after a hard-fought battle with cancer. John was born on May 12, 1949, to John and Valeria Cavanaugh in Mahanoy City. After graduating from Mahanoy Area High School in 1967, he began a successful career with Acme Markets as a meat butcher working his way up to being a highly respected manager. In 1977, John met Diane (Lopez) Cavanaugh. John and Diane provided a loving home to their son, Keith, and daughter, Danielle.
John was predeceased by his son Sean and sister Maureen Schwank. John is survived by his wife, Diane and daughter, Danielle of Mahanoy City; his son, Keith, husband of Angela (Wynn) Cavanaugh of Winter Garden, FL; his grandson Tyler, husband of Cheyenne of Orlando, FL; and his two sisters, Kathy, wife of Joseph Evans, of Frackville and Karen, wife of Bill Chilinskas of Barnesville.
Upon John's retirement he lived life like it was meant to be lived. He had an immense passion for his family, friends, and golf. He spent a lot of his time on the golf course appreciating the beautiful natural views created by God. He is now putting for birdie in the Heavens above us. He will be truly missed by all.
