John Aldewereld, a 57-year-old resident of Franks Corner, Ohio, tragically passed away on June 18, 2024, following a sudden cardiac event. John’s condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to his transfer by medical helicopter to University Hospital in Cleveland. Despite a brief improvement, John suffered a possible stroke and was placed on life support. After assessing his brain stem activity, his family made the heartbreaking decision to let him go.
John’s death has left a significant void in the lives of his wife, Audrey Kosa, and their two college-aged sons, Luca and Vincent. As the primary provider for his family, John’s passing has also brought substantial financial challenges, compounded by extensive medical bills and the need to support ongoing educational expenses.
To help the family during this difficult time, Lynn Snyder has organized a GoFundMe campaign. The fundraiser aims to raise $50,000, with $700 collected so far from four donations. Lynn Snyder’s heartfelt plea on Facebook underscores the urgency of the situation: "I’m trying to reach out to folks who might send support, even if prayers only. A dear friend lost her husband tragically this week, and he was the primary provider."
John’s legacy includes his selfless act of organ donation. His liver and kidneys have provided hope to others, and his pancreas will be used for research. John’s Honor Walk, accompanied by New Orleans-style jazz funeral music, reflected his and Audrey’s appreciation for the joyful release of a soul to the heavens.
John Aldewereld is remembered as a beloved husband, treasured father, and cherished son. He was known for his passion for family, food, and music, and his one-of-a-kind hospitality. Audrey, Luca, and Vincent express their deep gratitude for the continued love, support, and prayers from their community.
