John Alan Maloney March 25, 1970 – June 17, 2026

It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we announce the passing of John Maloney on June 17, 2026, at the age of 56. A beloved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, coach, and friend, John’s passing leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of all who knew and loved him.

To know John was to know kindness, loyalty, generosity, and love. He had a larger-than-life presence, a contagious smile, and a way of making everyone around him feel like family. Though he never sought attention, people were naturally drawn to him. He had a gift for making others feel seen, valued, and welcomed, whether they had known him for decades or had just met him.

John formed lifelong friendships throughout his life, especially during his years at Saint Joseph’s College, where he was a proud member of the basketball community. To his teammates, he was more than a teammate—he was a brother. Long after graduation, he remained the connection that kept so many together. Annual reunions, rounds of golf, late-night conversations, stories retold for the hundredth time, and countless laughs became cherished traditions because John was there. He gave so much of himself to others, and in return, he was deeply loved by all who knew him.

While his friendships were many, nothing mattered more to John than his family. He was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Johanna, and a proud and loving father to Brianne, Jacob, and Owen, as well as a caring and devoted stepfather to Madison and Natalie. His children were the center of his world, and he took immense pride in the people they were becoming. Whether through his guidance, encouragement, humor, or unwavering support, John poured his heart into being a father. The love he shared with his family was evident in everything he did.

John also found great purpose in serving his community. He was passionate about coaching and mentoring young athletes, sharing not only his love of sports but also the values that defined his life—hard work, integrity, compassion, and teamwork. He celebrated the success of others as enthusiastically as his own and found joy in helping people grow.

Those who knew John remember his generosity, thoughtfulness, and genuine spirit. He was the friend who checked in, the one who remembered important moments, the person who showed up when someone needed help, support, or simply a laugh. He had a remarkable ability to connect with people, and many who knew him considered him family regardless of blood relation.

The outpouring of love following John’s passing is a testament to the extraordinary impact he had on so many lives. He leaves behind countless memories of laughter, friendship, competition, conversation, and love. Though his time with us was far too short, his legacy lives on in the people he touched, the relationships he nurtured, and the example he set every day.

John is survived by his loving wife, Johanna; his children, Brianne, Jacob, Owen, Madison, and Natalie; his beloved mother, Helen Maloney; his eight siblings; many nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly; and an extraordinary community of friends whose lives are forever better because he was part of them.

John was deeply loved and will be deeply missed. As we mourn his loss, we also celebrate a life well lived—a life defined by love, loyalty, generosity, and connection. May we honor his memory by caring for one another, staying close to those we love, and living with the same warmth and compassion that John shared so freely.

Forever loved. Forever remembered.
