John H. McEvoy, Jr.

John H. McEvoy, Jr., a devoted husband, cherished family member, and treasured friend, passed away on December 25, 2025, at home following a brief illness. His departure leaves a profound emptiness in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Born on August 25, 1944, in Pontiac, Michigan, he lived a life marked by kindness, integrity, and quiet strength. He shared his days with generosity and humor, always offering a warm smile to those around him. His presence made life brighter, and his love made every ordinary moment meaningful. He loved to quahog with the Popponesset gang and was an expert at finding and grilling them. 

He is survived by his loving wife Martha who was his partner in every sense of the word for 46 years. Their life was built on deep affection, shared dreams, and unwavering support. He also leaves behind his two sons, Randy McEvoy (Sue) and Todd Weaver; four sisters, Cathy McGowan (Mark), Mickey Baylor (Ed), Cindy McEvoy, and Peggy Stoia; two brothers, Michael McEvoy and Bobby McEvoy; six grandchildren, Ashley, Kristina, Kayla, Jeremy, Kori, and Joshua; many beloved nieces and nephews, friends, and his loyal dog, Casey. He was preceded in death by his parents, Catherine and John; his brothers, Larry and Jim; his sister, Patsy; and his son, Rodney Weaver. 

John retired from Oracle in California after a career spanning 40 years in the computer industry. After retirement, he moved to the East Coast to be closer to family. Giving back to others was central to his life and he, along with his wife, volunteered for many local organizations. He was recognized with the Melvin Jones Award, the highest honor awarded by the Lions Club for his service and dedication. John made the world a better place in ways both seen and unseen.

His absence is immeasurable, but so is the love he leaves behind.

A celebration of life will be held in Massachusetts at a later date.
