John Tatich Jr., age 76, passed away peacefully on
Friday, March 20, 2026, with his wife by his side. He
was born on July 9, 1949 in South Bend, Indiana.

John spent the early part of his life in the Midwest
before making Southern California his home for many
decades. He proudly served in the United States Army,
a commitment that remained a meaningful part of his
life. Later in life, he embraced a well earned retirement
in Bullhead City, Arizona, where he enjoyed the warmth
of the desert and the slower pace it offered.

Among his passions, John found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He
loved working in the yard, listening to music, watching movies, reading,
taking on home improvement projects with a craftsman's pride and
researching everything. Fishing brought him peace along with sitting on
a beach sun tanning and enjoying a cold beer…and in his younger
years riding his motorcycle.

He was an extremely loyal person and loved sharing memories of his
earlier years with everyone. His wealth of knowledge, humor, and
dependability were exceptional.

John was preceded in death by his mother, Olga and his father John.
John is survived by his devoted wife of 40 years, Kassi, who remained
his best friend and constant companion; four children, Tina, Chris, Tony
Joe, and Josh, each of whom carries forward some of his humor,
resilience, and a bit of stubbornest; he was also blessed with two
beautiful granddaughters, Charlotte and Krysti, who brought him
immeasurable pride .He is also survived by his siblings, Natalie, Steve
and Don, as well as his half siblings, Mike, Lori, and Tom. John really
cared for and enjoyed all of his immediate and extended family.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him
