John Zarder died April 24th,2023. He was preceded in death by his loving wife Barbara in 2012. John had no children of his own, but was a wonderful uncle to Ana Mehalyak and Charmane Hembree. He was a fantastic Great Uncle to 6 children Daniel,Kristin, Stephen, Treasa, Destiny and Jonathan and finally a “Great-Great” Uncle to Aubri, Carson and Thomasina.
He was always known as “Big John” and was the best welder in town. He spent his younger days welding and building race cars for his brother Jim Zarder(deceased), who raced them at local tracks like Miami, Hialeah, and West Palm Beach.
John was an avid race car fan and had a collection of Nascar die cast cars.
He built a hot rod car that was featured on the cover of a magazine and loved showing it at the Turkey rod run car show.
John was a loving man and will be missed dearly by his surviving brother Tom Zarder and sister Phyl Taber.
Rest in Peace til we meet again…
