John Christopher Lang Obituary
In Memoriam. John Christopher Lang was born August 14, 1948 in the state of New Jersey to the late John and Helen Moore Lang. He lived the majority of his life in central CT. He passed holding the hands of his daughters on June 2, 2020 by the Connecticut seaside.
John was much beloved and leaves behind his two daughters Kristin (Ryan) and Kelsey Lang. The oldest of five, his siblings and their spouses meant the world to him; Linda (Ronald) Dwyer, Charles (Ellen) Lang, Barbara Lufbery and Patricia (Edward) Priest, not to mention the world’s best granddaughter, Mackenzie Scammon-Lang. He will also be missed by his loving nieces and nephews. Not related by blood, but equally dear to his heart are friends Randall Raines, Judd Moore, and Marc Youngquist. Their support throughout John’s life has been unwavering.
While multiple brain tumors stripped him of his independence, they never touched his good nature and consideration for others. His last words to his family were words of love.
Donations can be made to any organization John loved; The animal rescue close to John’s heart, Browncoat Cat Rescue at 312 E. Seneca St. Ithaca NY 14850, Elim Park Health Care and Rehab "Grateful Patient Fund" at 140 Cook Hill Rd Cheshire, CT 06410 where John was well cared for in his final months, or the Civil Air Patrol where John made lasting friendships. We would also like to say a special thank you to The Connecticut Hospice in Branford, CT for taking wonderful care of John at the end of his life.
