Knoxville, TN—With heavy hearts, the Knoxville community mourns the expected passing of John Medovich, a cherished husband, father, and friend. John, who was known affectionately as "Bocha," was born on December 12, 1952, and recently passed on August 11, 2024.
John was a man deeply loved by his family, including his wife of 21 years, Georgia Medovich. The couple had faced many challenges together, and in his final days, John battled pneumonia and sepsis, conditions that took a severe toll on his health. Despite being under hospice care and receiving morphine for pain management, John’s condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to his passing. His weight had dropped significantly, and the family had to make the heartbreaking decision to remove his feeding tube just days before his death.
In response to this devastating loss, Georgia Medovich has organized a fundraiser to cover John’s cremation services, which the family cannot afford. The goal is to raise $2,000, and within just a few minutes of launching the campaign, June Mallicoat generously donated $100, becoming the first supporter.
The Medovich family also wishes to honor John’s memory by placing him in the Veterans Cemetery with full honors, a wish that Chris, his son, is deeply committed to fulfilling despite the financial challenges they face.
The outpouring of support on social media has been immense. On Facebook, Nick Hanlon, a close friend of the family, shared his sorrow, urging others to keep the Medovich family in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
John’s passing has left a significant void in the lives of those who knew him. His memory will be cherished by his family and friends, and the love he shared will continue to be felt by those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
We are deeply saddened to hear of John Medovich’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this challenging time. May they find comfort and strength in each other and in the legacy John leaves behind.
