1965-2016
John Thomas Springer, age 51, passed away of natural causes at his home in Pompano Beach, Florida on Monday, August 8th, 2016. He was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, on May 30, 1965, the son of Jackie and Dr. Tom Springer. He spent a happy childhood in Vero Beach, Florida along with sister Lisa and brother Brad, surrounded by a large extended family and many, many friends. He graduated from Vero Beach High School, where he played football and captained the swim team. He went on to study at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia and Belmont Abbey in Belmont, North Carolina.
John began his career in the dewatering industry in Philadelphia and joined MWI Pumps in Deerfield Beach, Florida in 1996. His vision, leadership, salesmanship, engineering skills and passion for success helped MWI grow dramatically and flourish over the next twenty years.
John was a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and uncle, who loved his family with all of his heart. He loved being with his wife and kids, his family, and his wide network of friends. He loved fishing and scuba diving, hunting and boating. He loved renting pumps, being at his camp in River Ranch and driving his ATV and swamp buggy. And when he wore himself out…he loved to watch movies at home with his family and dog.
John was one of a kind. Tall and strong with sparkling blue eyes, larger than life, he was compassionate, loyal and adventurous. He could endear anyone he met with his big friendly smile, giant bear hugs, great stories, zest for life and calm steady presence in times of crisis. He was an amazing father who was adored by his wife and children Tommy and Amanda, and they were his pride and joy.
John is survived by his wife, Tanya Majeska Springer; his son, Thomas Patrick Springer (12); his daughter, Amanda Beth Springer (10); his mother, Jacqueline Purcell Springer of Vero Beach, Florida; his sister, Lisa Dawn Springer of Tallahassee, Florida; his brother, Thomas Bradley Springer (Julie) of Vero Beach, Florida; his nieces Mallorie, Chandler and MacKenzie Springer; and his nephews Alex and Nicolas Millones. John is predeceased by his father, Dr. J Thomas Springer of Vero Beach, Florida.
