John was born March 11, 1936 in Van Meter, Pennsylvania to John and Rose (Yarnovich) Gazda. He served 4 years in the United States Army. He married the late Eileen Gazda (Rose). They had four children together, Clyde (deceased) (Peggy), Phyllis (Coleman) Hixson, Debbie (deceased) (Len) Urban, and Paul (Donna). He was surrounded in life by his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, sisters, and friends.
In his younger days he would be found on the baseball field pitching a game or at his campground in Spencer, Ohio with the family. As he got older, he traded in his baseball mitt for attending and watching NASCAR races.
John loved his dog Star; she was the light of his life. He was very involved and well known at Bethel Freewill Baptist Church where he would be every Wednesday night for bible study and Sundays for Pastor Freddy’s sermons.
