John Michael Bobak, 20, of Tampa, Florida passed away on Monday, May 1, 2023. To know John Michael was to love him. He had a great sense of humor, loved animals and wood working. John was smart, loved to read(especially history books) and was a complete fish when it came to swimming either in the pool, the lake or the ocean. He’s always been an old soul. John was great with younger kids & older adults. When it came to music, he was not at all prejudice as he loved ALL kinds of music. Music touched his soul like air touches our face. He had piercing blue eyes and a smile that would light up a room. John connected with his big sister Hailee Alexander and moved out west to AZ in June of 2022. He loved the desert and the mountains and was in awe of God’s beautiful creation. John loved playing with his little brothers and worked hard to be a good example. He was always sweet and kind to everyone he met. He loved talking about history or politics and listening to any music he could find. It ranged from Ukrainian folk music to classic country and big-band swing. He was recently proud that he completed his GED and was exploring what he wanted to do next. We knew it would have been amazing.
John, you will be dearly missed by all who knew you!!! There will forever be a hole in my heart. I love you on purpose ❤️ love mom
