John Suarez

Proceded in death by his two younger brothers, all veterans of the Korean War. The brothers all had a rough start in life, their father passed early and their mother became ill and had to send all three to a Catholic charity school for boys. Despite the hardship John graduated valedictorian. When the Korean War started John was drafted by the Army which prompted his two younger brothers to enlist. John excelled as a mortar battalion sergeant where he distingushed himself with valor in which he was awarded the Bronze Star and recieved a Purple Heart, being hit with shrapnel. After being discharged he returned to be with his mother in N.Y,. and  reunited with his brothers. He attended a NY photography institute and moved to West Virginia to open a photography studio and pursue his passion for photography. Still unsettled he retuned to his hometown of Tampa and eventually landing in Miami where he later found his true vocational talent as an accountant. All through out his life he and his brothers remained very close. Through thick and thin the "Three Musketeers" survived and were always supportive of each other and their families, overcoming  adversities in their lives. To John's chagrin he out lived his two younger brothers, he is survived by cousins, his brother's wives, their children and extended families, and his adopted family in Miami.  Although he will be dearly missed he has been reunited once again with his brothers and family in paradise. Interment will be at Bushnell National Cementary.
