John E. Flood

John Edward Flood, 56, of New Bedford, MA, passed away on Thursday, November 3, 2022. He was born in the Bronx, New York, on January 22, 1966, to Diana Ficara Flood and John Patrick Flood. He grew up in Westwood, NJ, where he had a joyful childhood and made lifelong friends.

John loved the Grateful Dead, Jets and Yankees games, and spending time with his family and friends. He was a kind, generous, dependable man who always looked for the good in a situation. He loved his children and family more than anything in the world. He encouraged his children to be adventurous, care for the earth, advocate for themselves, always be skeptical, listen to lots and lots of music, and to always tell people that you love them.

He was preceded in death by his father John P. Flood. He is survived by four children: Betheny Stinson, Charlie Flood, Tristin Flood, and Terence Flood. He is also survived by his mother, Diana Ficara Flood, and two younger siblings, Stephen Flood and Kristin Flood. He was a beloved Grandpa to two granddaughters Thea Stinson and Nora Stinson, who he loved and cherished. He leaves behind countless loved aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
