John Albert Kish

December 26, 1972 – October 26, 2024

John A. Kish, 51, of Groveland, Florida went home to be with the Lord on October 26, 2024. He was born in Saline, Michigan on December 26, 1972 to Joseph and Sharon Kish. John was a dedicated employee of R&W Sod, Inc. for 28 plus years. Rodney and the entire company quickly became a part of his extended family.

John moved from Michigan to Florida as a young boy. He was a hardworking, selfless giver, with a servant's heart. John was a founding member and pillar of Vision Church where he was known to make people laugh and feel safe. John loved to operate heavy equipment, hunt, fish, recreational shooting, drink Coca-Cola, and eat a cheeseburger and a good steak.

John was preceded in death by his biological parents, Joseph and Sharon Kish, his brother, Keith, his Dad, Glendon 'G.K.' Faloon and Father in Law, Robert "Bob" Murphy.

John is survived by his wife, Erika Murphy Kish; his children Chelsey (Mason) Pitzer, Matthew (Allahna) Kish, Tehya Nagel, and Taurus Phillips; siblings Benjamin (Charlene) Kish, Mark Kish, Wesley (Susie) Faloon, Judy (Clayton) Langley, and Lois Antommarchi; Mothers Maxine Faloon and Merlita "Meme" M. (Maynard) Shorey; and his many dearly loved God-children – who he claimed and treated as his own.

Although John did not have grandchildren, he loved his grand-dogs Turbo, Drago, and Bowden along with his "baby girl" Kali Kish.
