John E. Janda

It is with both sadness and gratitude that we announce the passing of John E. Janda, at the age of 92. John, who was the cherished husband of Suzanne C. (Watters) Janda, departed this world peacefully at the Pottstown Rehabilitation and Nursing Center on December 20th, 2025.

Born to the late Elsie Janda, John was a popular substitute in the Owen J Roberts School District. He embraced life with a passion for bowling, a fascination with the weather, and a love for singing that brought joy to everyone around him. A true craftsman at heart, he delighted in building televisions, clocks, and any electronic devices he encountered, showcasing his remarkable talent and inventive spirit. He was also a discerning whiskey enthusiast, appreciating the finer things in life.

John's legacy lives on in the hearts of his wife and their loving family. He is survived by his children: Nancy Janda, William Janda, Christopher Janda, Patricia Janda, and Jennifer Gadsby, along with 11 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren.

He was predeceased by his son, Edward Janda.

A celebration of John's life will take place on Monday, December 29th, 2025. Friends and family are invited to gather for a viewing from 10 a.m. until noon at St. Thomas More Church in Pottstown, followed by a joyful Mass of Christian Burial at noon, where we will honor the rich and vibrant life he led. John will be laid to rest at St. Aloysius Cemetery, where his memory will forever remain a cherished part of our lives.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in John's honor to Catholic Charities USA at donate.catholiccharitiesusa.org, reflecting his kind-hearted spirit and his dedication to helping others.

Warker~Troutman Funeral Home Inc. is honored to serve the Janda family during this time of remembrance and celebration.
