"John was born on March 26, 1992, in Salem, MA, and was raised in Peabody until the age of 8, when he moved to Greece with his family. Being in Greece ignited his love for the ocean as his family lived very close to the sea. John also went to school in Greece and made many friends who gravitated towards him because of his friendly and fun-loving attitude."
"In 2016, John moved back to Peabody to chase his dreams. He was working professionally as a fisherman and was known for his strong work ethic, his dependability, and his friendliness. Many of his coworkers became his friends. Speaking of friends, he had many of them, and he considered all of them to be family. John was always full of life and always had a smile on his face, even in difficult and challenging times. He had a positive, upbeat attitude."
