John Eric Northrop

Born to John and Louise Northrop in Tampa, FL on February 5, 1991, John was a man who loved his family, was loyal in his beliefs and would never turn his back on someone when they needed help. John was awarded the Masonic title of Worshipful Master and was the youngest to achieve this title in Hillsborough County. He was an avid exotic car enthusiast, loved going to the Tampa Bay Lightning Hockey games with his dad and sister and was always on the hunt for his next adventure. He also found joy and excitement in jumping out of “perfectly good airplanes”.

John is survived by his beloved parents John and Louise Northrop and his sister Jordan Northrop. As well as by many aunts, uncles, and extended family and friends.
