John Henry Vanderborg

A beloved husband, devoted father, cherished grandfather and great-grandfather, and a friend to many, John lived a life full of joy, adventure, and deep faith. He leaves behind his loving wife, Terry, with whom he shared a beautiful journey filled with love, laughter, and a shared passion for exploring the world. Together, they traveled far and wide, visiting Japan, Germany, Switzerland, China, and Australia, and enjoyed countless cruises that created memories to last a lifetime.

John was a proud and loving father to Kathy Spiteri (Mario), Terry Jenik, Jack Vanderborg, and Maureen Cimino (Tony). He was a treasured grandfather to Michelle Groth (Nick) and Joann Argutto (Sal), and a devoted great-grandfather to young Matthews, whom he adored.

A devout Catholic, John found strength and guidance in his faith, which was a cornerstone of his life. He also believed in living life to the fullest. Whether he was playing tennis, pickleball, cornhole, or boccia ball, John approached every activity with enthusiasm and a competitive spirit. He was an avid card player, a proud member of his local bowling league, and a lover of big band music, often found tapping his foot to a swing tune.

John’s vibrant spirit, kindness, and love for life will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
