John Moran

Webberville

Born September 7, 1956, in Lansing, MI, passed away suddenly at his home on January 21, 2011, at the age of 55. He is the son of Lawrence and Roberta Moran, residents of Ingham County and who now winter in Florida.

John graduated from Webberville High School in 1974, and loved his community. Those who knew John, looked forward to his kind smile and quick wit. John’s element was the great outdoors. During his life, John worked for the railroad, was an operating engineer, a bartender, a farmer, and was a devoted son who enjoyed adventures he shared with his father.

John was the kind of friend you could depend on, he doted on his dogs and cared for all strays. He is survived by his parents; sisters, Janice Sika of Lansing, Kay Pretto of Holt, Bonnie Monroe of Webberville, Connie Moran of Nokomis, Florida; numerous nieces and nephews; many personal friends and buddies (whom he regarded as family); and by his faithful dog Brute.

A celebration of John’s life will be held at a later date.

An informal gathering for family and friends will be held at Brookshire Inn, Williamston, Michigan, on Wednesday January 26, from 4-7 p.m. to share fond memories of John. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Capital Area Humane Society, 7095 W. Grand River Avenue, Lansing, MI 48906, in memory of John.
