Born November 23, 1984 in Harrisburg, PA he was the beloved son of C. Scott and Cynthia J. Bucher of Boiling Springs and brother of Ben Bucher of Bethesda, MD and Caleb Bucher of Carlisle, PA.
Among his many endearing traits, John will be fondly remembered for his warm smile, his sparkling wit, his keen intellect and his generous, kind, and compassionate spirit. He was a loyal and devoted friend. John enjoyed reading and writing verse and playing the guitar and keyboard.
Throughout his formative years, he attended Cumberland Valley Brethren in Christ Church (now the Meeting House Dillsburg) and was an active participant in the youth group.
John graduated from Boiling Springs High School in 2003 and attended Lebanon Valley College, West Chester University and Harrisburg Area Community College. Throughout his youth and young adulthood he enjoyed soccer and played on the Boiling Springs High School soccer and track teams, and on the Lebanon Valley College soccer team.
John worked in Pennsylvania for a number of years as a direct support provider for persons with intellectual disabilities, and in California as a customer service representative.
In addition to his immediate family, John leaves to treasure his memory, his grandmothers, M. Florence (Jeannie) Bucher and Marjorie Aker; his girlfriend Jasmine (Sheber) Jimmerson of Oceanside, CA, and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his grandfathers, Cyrus G. Bucher and John R. Aker; and his cousin Jacob Howard.
John will be greatly missed by the many who loved and cherished him. John’s family is comforted in our trust that John’s spirit is at peace and that he is in the arms of a loving God.
