John Marian Tubolino, 64, of Morgantown, and formerly of New York, passed away Monday, July 20, 2020, in Morgantown, as a result of injuries he sustained in a motorcycle accident.
John was born Sept. 11, 1955, in Princeton, NJ, a son of the late Donald Robert Tubolino Sr., and the late Joan (Kurachik) Tubolino.
John is survived by his four children, Anna Marie Mehm, John Tubolino, Katie Carpenter and her husband Justin and Alex Tubolino; his five grandchildren, Jadyn and Aubree Carpenter, Evander Tubolino, Isabelle Rose Mehm and Wyatt Joseph Mehm; his four siblings, Don Tubolino Jr., Kevin Tubolino, Lori Foy and her husband David and Mariano Tubolino; his nieces and nephews, Lisa, Jason, Jennifer, Lorinda Janelle, David, Paul and Trent; and his companion, Diana Trickett.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a niece, Tina.
John attended Morgantown High School where he wrestled and played on the football team, and ultimately graduated from Red Jacket High School in Shortsville, N.Y. His hobbies included gardening, fishing, deer hunting and riding motorcycles. He loved sports, and followed the Buffalo Bills and his “New York Football Giants.”
John was the type of person that everyone wanted to be around. His smile was infectious, and his outlook on life was positive. He believed in greeting you with arms wide open, and bestowing upon everyone he met and knew an unmatched kindness and generosity.
Family and friends may gather to honor John’s life and legacy at Smith Funeral & Cremation Care, 108 Holland Ave., Westover/Morgantown from 1-3 p.m. and from 6-7:45 p.m. Monday, July 27, at which time a blessing service will be conducted by Father Walter Jagela. Following the visitation, John will be returned to New York, where he will be laid to rest in the West Hill Cemetery, Sherburne, N.Y.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in his memory to the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation in honor of John’s late friend Frank, whom he cared for tremendously.
