Predeceased by his loving parents, Michael Blyzniuk and Mary Blyzniuk (nee Costello). Beloved husband of Carolyn Blyzniuk (nee Merriam). Loving father of John Blyzniuk (Michelle) of Sewell, NJ and Ryan Blyzniuk of Turnersville, NJ. Proud grandfather of Michael, Kaylee, and Karina.

John is also survived by his beloved puppy, Hartley Kringle, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. John, or “Johnnycakes” as his mom called him, was a proud graduate of the North Catholic class of 1982 in Philadelphia, PA. He met his wife, Carolyn, while working at the Burger King at “K&A”. They were together for 39 years and married for 31. John loved sitting on the porch of his shore house in North Wildwood, that he just renovated with his wife and sons, and sitting on the beach with his feet in the water. He enjoyed spending time with his children, grandchildren, and family. He loved telling stories and his “therapy” trips to Walmart. John was a devoted listener of the Preston & Steve show. He loved his “Jim Dandy” at Friendly’s and never turned down a donut! John had a long career as a respiratory therapist, working for many hospitals, most recently for Virtua Hospital, Marlton, NJ. John was very grateful to his family, friends, and Johns Hopkins family, for their love and support throughout his recent fight with pancreatic cancer. John passed with his family and beloved pup, Hartley, by his side at home. Viewings will be Sunday, October 13, 2019 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Earle Funeral Home, 122 W.
