John ‘J.J.’ Frederick Jarvis, age 57, of Glenwood City passed away next to his wife, Pamela Jarvis, on August 16, 2021 as a result of injuries sustained in an ATV accident days before. 

John was born on March 11, 1964 in Cooperstown, New York to Theodore and Janet Jarvis. He was raised in Cooperstown where he graduated from high school in 1982. He furthered his education at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida where he received training on aircraft mechanics. He began a long and rewarding career with Northwest Airlines, which would evolve into Delta Airlines. During his time at Northwest, he met Pamela Johnson. The two were married on February 26, 1994 and spent 27 wonderful years together. This union was further blessed by the arrival of his two daughters, Jordin and Jessica. John’s career spanned over twenty years in maintenance control and most recently as a lead mechanic for Delta. 

John loved the outdoors and had a great appreciation for nature. In his free time, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, and hiking with his family and friends. John was conscientious and altruistically cared about others. He was always the first to offer an extra hand to a neighbor in need and took great joy in sharing the bountiful harvest of the garden he and his wife kept each year. 

John is survived by his cherished daughters, Jordin and Jessica; his mother, Janet; and brother, David. His father, Theodore, precedes him in death.
