John R. Carper, 71, of Port Richey, Florida, passed away on June 18, 2025. He is survived by his loving wife Linda (Schwind), daughter Jody (Mark) Binge, and sons Jason Carper and Jeremy (Sara) Carper as well as his adored grandchildren Grace, Logan and Dawson Binge and Ava Carper.

John was born in Dover, New Jersey to his parents Edward and Ann (Galovic) Carper. He was preceded in death by his sister Mary, brothers James and William, and is survived by his sister Nancy Hall of Georgia. John excelled as a commercial electrician for most of his life, having worked at Alcoa in Dover, New Jersey. He and Linda moved to Florida in 2006 to be closer to their grandchildren. John had many passions which included golfing, hunting and fishing. Those who knew him well know how he loved to make people laugh as he was always the life of the party. Mostly, John enjoyed spending time with his family, whether it be on the boat in the summer, skiing in the winter or roller coasters at theme parks; he always knew how to have a great time even in his last few weeks.

John was diagnosed with cancer in 2014 which he successfully conquered. He was unfortunately diagnosed with dementia shortly after and battled it for many years. Throughout the last years, he continued to make everyone laugh. He will be forever missed by his family, friends and all those who loved him.
