John Gagnon passed away peacefully at the age of 28 on May 7, 2019 in Clearwater, Florida.

John proudly served our country in the U.S. Coast Guard and was honorably discharged after 6 years of service. He was an honor graduate of USF, majoring in Physical Therapy. He thrived on helping people overcome their physical limitations and helping others.
