John Phillip Przypek Jr.

February 3, 1934 – August 21, 2026

John Phillip Przypek Jr. passed away on August 21, 2026, at the age of 92. He leaves behind a legacy of love, quiet devotion, and a life built around family.

John shared almost 66 years of marriage with his soulmate, Janice Mae Przypek. Together they built a life full of love and partnership, raising two children, John Przypek and Chris Kinnebrew. Jan's passing in 2021 left a wound in John's heart that never fully healed, but he carried her memory with him every day that followed, choosing to keep moving forward as best he could.

Before settling into family life, John served honorably in the United States Air Force for four years, a chapter that shaped the discipline and quiet strength he carried throughout his life.

John and Jan made their home in San Jose before retiring to an idyllic mountain home in Shingletown, California, where they spent twenty happy years surrounded by the beauty of the forest. In 2017, they relocated to Pacific Grove, California, where John would spend his final years by the sea..

To his son John, he was more than a father — he was a best friend, and the man who stood beside him as best man on his wedding day. He will always be the best man.

John will be remembered for the enduring love he shared with Jan, for the family they built together, for his service to his country, and for the quiet strength with which he faced life's hardest moments. His devotion to his soulmate defined who he was.

He is survived by his children, John (Daughter in law Isabelle) and Christine Przypek, Aunt Margaret Haydu, Grandchildren Amethyst Romero, Elishia Dawn Hess, Sophia Kinnebrew, Sarah Kinnebrew, Great Grandchildren Shaelynn Romero, Luz (Dacio) Romero, Piper Otis Mae Rae Laframboise, Anastasia Gersch, Kayleigh Kinnebrew, Kaislynn Kinnebrew. Great Great Grandchildren Amythyst’s daughter Shaylyn’s daughter Amelia Raye Romero, and son Winston Lewis IV.

John was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Janice Mae Przypek, in 2021.

His ashes will be placed forever with his wife at the California Central Coast Cemetery in Seaside California.

Rest in peace, John. Your love story with Jan, and your devotion to your family, will not be forgotten
