John Gerard Mahoney

John Gerard Mahoney, 63, of Lake Tishomingo in Hillsboro, Missouri, passed away on Friday, April 29, 2022. Born in Queens, New York, he was visiting the family's much loved vacation home in Biloxi, Mississippi when he was tragically killed after being struck by a car while crossing Beach Blvd. 

John was a proud Union Laborer for over 30 years, originally in New York as a teen, and later in Missouri until his retirement. 

John enjoyed spending time with his family, music and playing cards, working outdoors, boating at their beautiful home at Lake Tishomingo, and loved spending every moment with the love of his life, Lisa, his bride of over 27 years. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, John (Jack) and Dorothy (Dottie) Mahoney, of Queens, New York, as well as Louis (Lou) and Elizabeth (Betty) Struckman, of St. Louis, Missouri. He was preceded in death by his baby girl, Dorothy Elizabeth (Lizzie) Mahoney, and so many sweet pets, most recently his adored Belle.

John is survived by his wife, Lisa Mahoney (nee Struckman); his children Jennifer Smith (husband Jon), Michael Hornung (wife Brittany), Jeffrey Williamson, John and Michael Florey; his grandchildren Louis and Stella Smith, and Fiona and Oscar Hornung; his sisters Carol Zarrelli (husband Angelo) and Joanne Czajkowski (late husband Wayne); nieces Karen Sullivan, Janna Czajkowski and Lisa Toscano; his adored nephews John Zarrelli (wife Ines) and Joe Zarrelli, as well as countless loved ones and friends who will all miss him dearly. 

A celebration of John's life will be held at home in Missouri at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations be made to The John Mahoney Memorial Fund, 6047 N Lakeshore Dr, Hillsboro, MO 63050, which will be for the benefit of his grandchildren. 

 

Bradford-O'Keefe Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of John Gerard Mahoney.
