John C. Diesfeld Jr.

John Charles Diesfeld, JR. (Johnny, Dad, Papa, Johnny D, Jay…) was a wonderful man, husband, brother, son, father, uncle, grandfather, and friend to all that he met. Whether it was his professional or personal life, he took great pride in all the work that he did. John had a storied career with PEPSICO including being named Pepsi Worldwide Employee of the Year. It took him from Buffalo, NY to Las Vegas, NV where he retired after 46 years. John’s family was the light of his life, and that reflected through everything that he did, from raising his 3 daughters and son, to spoiling his 4 grandchildren every way that he could. John loved playing the role of coach, and he did it everywhere from the dugout, to the hockey rink, to his garage. And it wasn’t a weekend at his house unless family (both local and visiting) was gathered around his table for a meal.

He is survived by his wife, mother, brothers, 4 children, and 4 grandchildren (with one more on the way). His life and love are remembered by countless more family members and friends all around.
