May 17 1958 May 4 2020
John’s Obituary Beloved husband, father, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend, died peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family on Monday, May 4, 2020 in Huntington Beach, California, at the age of 61. John had a very brief battle with cancer. His family is comforted that he did not suffer. John was born on May 17, 1958 in Los Angeles, California to Robert B. and Anna Marie (Viole) Lefevre. He graduated from Crespi Carmelite High School in Encino, California. John earned his Bachelor of Science and Master of Business Administration, Management Science degrees from California State University, Northridge. John went on to meet and marry his soulmate, Peggy Petrie, in 1987. They shared a lifetime of memories in 34 years; their love for each other was ever-present. Together, they raised a beautiful family and created long lasting relationships with family and friends. John and Peggy treasured the many family reunions they attended over the years; family was the heart and light of John’s life. John found purpose in his 35 years of work. He spent five years in the direct mail industry as Operations Manager at Donnelley Marketing in Fullerton and a year as an instructor of Business Management at California State University, Fullerton. John and Peggy then moved to Huntington Beach, California where they raised their three children. Peggy worked in the dental industry, and John spent 30 years as Operations Manager at Ned R. Healy and Company Inc. He was passionate about his work and thrived in environments where he was able to pass down his knowledge to his students, staff and children. John was a quiet, patient and kind man who always put his family’s needs before his own. His kind demeanor, generous spirit, and sense of humor will be cherished by those who knew him. John was a loving and complementary partner who created a wonderful life with Peggy. He accomplished every goal he set for himself including becoming a university professor; a successful businessman; a loving and supportive father; and a devoted husband. John is survived by his wife, Peggy; children, Maureen, Bobby, and John Lefevre; siblings, Greg Lefevre (Debbie), Louis Lefevre, Corrine Lefevre-Dawson (Mike), Hugh Lefevre (Melanie); sisters-in-law Susan Lefevre (Steve), Katie Lefevre (Richard); and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert B. and Anna Marie Lefevre; and his brothers, Steve and Richard Lefevre. Our joys will be greater, our love will be deeper, our lives will be fuller because we shared your moment. The celebration of Jon’s life will be postpones until gatherings can resume. Read More
