Raised in Tribute:
$877606.00It is with great sadness that the family of John Andrew Suslavich, age 65, of Delray Beach, FL, announces that he unexpectedly passed away on November 7, 2021, from an acute bacterial infection. John was born on April 3, 1956, to John Joseph and Rita Fisher Suslavich in Rochelle, IL, and grew up in Paxton, IL. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois, an MBA from the University of Indiana, and was a Certified Management Accountant. John’s career was spent in Finance at Burroughs/Unisys Corporation, General Instrument, Motorola/Nokia Siemens, and NewNet Communications Technologies/Skyview Capital. John enjoyed spending time with his family, relatives and friends, working, golfing, exercising, and was an avid fan of sports teams from Illinois, especially the Illini, Chicago Cubs, and the Bears. John was easy-going, fun-loving, and always found a way to bring some humor into any situation. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
John is survived by his wife of 29 years, Eileen Long, and their son, John Francis Suslavich of Delray Beach, FL; brother, Tom Suslavich of Parrish, FL and his son Andrew Suslavich of Woodstock, GA; sister, Ann Nogle (Jud) and their daughter, Olivia Nogle of Savoy, IL, and best friend, Stan Cole (Sue) of Rantoul, IL.
John's father suffered from Parkinson's Disease and every year at the holiday time, all John wanted for a gift from his wife was for her to make a donation to the Michael J. Fox Foundation in his father's name.
The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease and to ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Parkinson's today. The Foundation is the world's largest nonprofit funder of Parkinson's research, with more than $800 million in high-impact research funded to date.
