John J. Favel

John J. Favel was born on October 13, 1952 and departed this life to his eternal reward on February 26, 2021 at age 68 at his home in Flossmoor, IL. He was a U.S. Navy Veteran and served in Vietnam. He was husband to Debbie nee Wilmeth Favel for 47 years. John and Debbie have two children Benjamin (Linnea) Favel and Tabitha (Al) Gorney. And five grandchildren, Allisandra, Isaac and Edward Favel and Aiden and Heather Gorney. John was the son of the late Frank and Saville Favel. He is survived by two siblings, Jeanette (late Ray) Radimecky, Frank (Paulette) Favel and was preceded in death by two brothers, William and Michael Favel. He was an uncle, cousin, brother-in-law and friend. He was a source of great inspiration to all who knew him.

John was injured in an explosion in January of 1982 which left him paralyzed and blind, but that never stopped him from being a great husband and father. His faith and trust remained in God throughout his life despite the constant pain that he lived with. As much as he could he wanted to be a blessing to everyone around him. He will be greatly missed, but the impact that his life had on so many will be felt for generations to come.
