John A. Shedor, 82, passed away peacefully at home on August 19, 2024.

He was born in the Back of the Yards neighborhood where he lived until moving to Montgomery, Illinois.

He worked in management at United Parcel Service for 34 years where he met the love of his life, Sue, who he was married to for 52 years. They raised their family to be strong and supportive of one another. John was a decorated Vietnam veteran earning two purple hearts while he was in the 1st Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. John lived his life always thinking of others and helping those in need. He was a man of strong faith who loved his country. He adored and was extremely proud of his three grandchildren and loved family trips with them to Disney's Old Key West resort in Florida. Known for his famous skillet dinners, he enjoyed puzzles, relaxing on the back deck, and working in his workshop. Those who knew him remember his smile, sense of humor, and willingness to listen.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Sue Shedor of Montgomery, IL; his parents, John W. and Marie Shedor of Chicago, IL; his two sisters, Rosemary and Fran Shedor of Chicago, IL; and his brother, Tom Shedor of Monroe, VA.

John will forever be in the hearts of those who knew him, especially his two daughters, Denise (Peter) Bergmann and Debbie (Vince Zambo) Shedor, both of Oswego, IL; and his three grandchildren, Jonathan and Jessica Zambo and Summer Bergmann, all from Oswego, IL.
