John Townsend Obituary

With solemn reverence, we commemorate John Townsend (Scarborough, Maine), whose life came to an end on September 17, 2025 at the age of 65, leaving behind cherished memories. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of John Townsend to show support.

As we bid adieu to John's earthly form, let us not dwell on the void left in his wake, but rather celebrate the legacy of love and inspiration John has bequeathed us. For though he may have departed from our sight, his spirit remains a timeless beacon, guiding loved ones through the labyrinth of life's journey.

He was predeceased by: his parents, John C. Townsend "Big John" and Sandra J. Townsend (Knight); and his pet Jenny. He is survived by: his wife Yuzhi Sun "CoCo"; his stepdaughter Nicole; his daughter Tabitha Emery (Shawn Emery); his grandson Gavin Emery; and his sister Tammy Linscott (Jeff Linscott). He is also survived by siblings, cousins, nieces and a nephew.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests any donations to be made to the Gosnall House in Scarborough where John and his family received exceptional care during his extended stay.
