John Vazquez ’97, March 26, 2005, following a brief illness. Andrea Trombley ’99 Sarner and Jason Milner ’97 share the following: “John, affectionately known to his friends by a variety of nicknames (mostly unprintable here…), was so full of energy and life that it hardly seems fair that he had to be taken from us. Two Susquehanna alums were able to attend the quickly-organized services in his hometown of Vineland, N.J.

At SU, John was a music education major. He also enjoyed theatre and other fine arts. He had a way of explaining music, of showing his passion for a certain piece that made you love it as well.

The viewing was attended by a lengthy stream of family, friends and acquaintances. The following day’s service was standing-room only. For those who remember him, John didn’t look like John. But it was easy to tell why: his smile was gone.

That’s the way we will always remember him. The times when John wasn’t smiling or laughing were few and far between. Cheering him up was never hard because he would often start joking himself. He would listen when you needed him, he was fair and he never flinched from telling you the truth, even when it wasn’t what you wanted to hear.

In the months before his death, John traveled around the world from Machu Pichu to Vietnam. Even though he is no longer physically with us, we will always travel with a part of him in our hearts.”
