January 23, 1996 — October 22, 2014
WEST BOYLSTON – John “Johnny” E. Stake, Jr., 18, of West Boylston passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Born in Worcester on January 23, 1996, John lived his formative years in Worcester before moving to West Boylston in 2006.
While attending West Boylston Middle School, he played football in the West Boylston Lion’s Pop Warner Football program and later in the Shrewsbury Colonials program, who after winning the State Championships, advanced to the Super Bowl in Florida. John was ambitious and industrious and attended Assabet Regional Vocational Technical High School in Marlborough where he pursued a career in plumbing; later working for his Uncle at Warren Plumbing and Heating Co. in Worcester. He was in the process of joining the Marines. While in high school, he remained active in sports and played varsity football and baseball.
He enjoyed spending time with his family, playing golf and riding dirt bikes with his dad and Uncle Jeff, and was a man of many friends. John’s true nature was one of loyalty and compassion and was considered a virtuous young man by those who met him. He will be lovingly missed by his family and friends, and will leave a legacy and lasting memory of what it means to be a great person. His contagious smile and engaging personality will be forever embedded in our hearts.
He is survived and will be affectionately remembered by his parents, John E. Stake, Sr. of Worcester and Elizabeth “Liz” (Warren) Stake with whom he lived; his brother and sister, Logan and Chelsea both of West Boylston; a paternal grandmother, Marilyn (Genander) Stake of Worcester; a maternal grandmother, Carrol A. (Allen) Warren of West Boylston; many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is predeceased by his paternal grandfather, Peter Warren and his maternal grandfather, Frederick W. Stake.
