John W. Sudak

John W. Sudak, 74, of Danvers, passed away on June 21, 2025, at Beverly Hospital surrounded by family. Born in Revere on May 21, 1951, he was the son of the late Philip and Barbara (Fuller) Sudak. John was raised and educated in Peabody and was a graduate of Peabody High School. He then served honorably in the U.S. Navy.

For many years, John made his home in Danvers, where he was known as a kind neighbor and loyal friend. He worked as a custodian at St. John’s Preparatory School, where he took pride in his work and enjoyed the camaraderie of the school community.

John had a passion for gardening and could often be found tending to his beloved plots at Endicott Park, where his green thumb and dedication were well known. A true lover of music, especially The Beatles, John found joy in sharing tunes and stories with friends and family. He was also a devoted movie buff, always ready to revisit a favorite classic.

Above all, John loved his family. He leaves two daughters, Meagan Sudak of Methuen and Rachelanne Sudak-McCullough and her husband Christopher of Eldorado, Illinois; two cherished grandchildren, Gadreel and Ozzy; and his sister, Barbara Pettengill and her husband Donald of Haverhill. He also leaves his nephew Sean Alfonsi and his wife Sarah, his great-niece Riley, his best friend Jim O’Callaghan, and many other dear friends who will miss his kindness and humor.

Visiting hours will be held on Saturday, June 28, 2025, from 1 to 3 p.m. at C.R. Lyons & Sons Funeral Directors, 28 Elm Street, Danvers Square. In lieu of flowers, donations in John’s memory may be made to Friends of Endicott Park, 57 Forest St., Danvers, MA 01923, honoring his love of gardening and the outdoors.
