It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of John T Sadowski Jr., who left this world on May 11, 2026, at the age of 58.
John was a devoted husband, loving father, proud son, brother, entrepreneur, and loyal friend. He lived life with passion, determination, and an unwavering commitment to those he loved. His larger-than-life personality, quick wit, generous heart, and entrepreneurial spirit (providing many “Sadowski moments”) left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
John is survived by his beloved wife Kathleen (LeBold), his children, Cameron, Juliette, and Blake Sadowski; his father, John T. Sadowski; his sister, Jill Sadowski; brother Jody Sadowski, niece Brittney, Aunt Kris (Tony); and many loving cousins, extended family members, Sniper elite gaming community (RealSadowski), in-laws, and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his mother, Karen (as well as his treasured Z06).
A true animal lover, John had a special place in his heart for every creature he encountered (including his 3 dachshunds, 2 ferrets, snake, fish, and gecko). John never met a creature he didn’t want to bring home, much to the amusement (and occasional concern) of his family. He was also a lifelong Corvette enthusiast who firmly believed that problems looked smaller from behind the wheel of a Corvette. As an entrepreneur, he built businesses through hard work, vision, and perseverance, always striving to provide the best for his family and to fund his car (somehow convincing everyone that the Z06 needed a supercharger).
John called two places home in his life: New Jersey and Florida. In accordance with his wishes, his ashes will be scattered at sea in both states, forever connecting him to the places and memories he treasured most.
John’s greatest pride and accomplishment was his family. He is loved deeply by his wife and children. He never missed an opportunity to share a laugh, tell a story as only he could, or lend a helping hand. His legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched, as well as the love and Sadowski stories he leaves behind.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, in both Florida and New Jersey. Details will be announced as they become available.
Those who knew John know he would not want to be remembered with tears. He would much rather be remembered through laughter, a good story, a loud engine, and one more “Sadowski moment.”
