PLATTSBURGH – John F. Winters, Jr. 56, of U.S. Ave., died Monday, October 3, 2022, unexpectedly at his home.

John was born in Plattsburgh on September 28, 1966 the son of John and Dianna (Nephew) Winters, Jr.

John loved being with his family. If you have one memory about him, it probably involved him reminiscing over memories. He loved to talk about the past like growing up and his wife, Donna who passed away before him.

Growing up he enjoyed spending time with his dad so much that he would go on painting jobs with him. He also loved his mom's shepherd's pie. He talked about it all the time-but it had to have the crust.

John loved country music, especially Johnny Cash.

Survivors include his mother, Dianna Winters of Plattsburgh; stepdaughter, Nicole Graser and grandchildren, Drake and Jaxden of TN, brothers, Jeff (Debbie) Winters of Mooers and Chris (Deanna) Winters of Chazy, sisters, Sandy (Kris) Greenier of Plattsburgh, Sharon Bushey of Plattsburgh, Lisa Winters (Brian Mitchell) of Malone and Jennifer Bowman of Chazy; and several nieces nephews, cousins and many friends.

He was predeceased by his wife, Donna Biggam, father, John Winter, Sr. and his paternal and maternal grandparents.

At John's request there will be no calling hours or funeral services.

Despite his happy memories, he was suffering mentally with depression, so we (and he would too) want to spread awareness about suicide.

Memorial donations may be made to Suicide Prevention, in memory of John.

Arrangements have been entrusted into the care of the R.W. Walker Funeral Home 69 Court Street, Plattsburgh, NY.
