Throughout his life, John exemplified the true essence of a gentleman, always prioritizing his family above all else. He was the devoted husband of Celine, and together, they shared a bond built on love, respect, and mutual admiration.

John's down-to-earth nature and genuine humility endeared him to all who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was not one to boast or seek superficial accolades; instead, he found fulfillment in the simple joys of life and the warmth of his loved ones' company.

A loving and caring family man, John's devotion to his family knew no bounds. His selflessness and compassion were evident in every action, as he consistently placed the needs of his loved ones above his own.

John's legacy will be remembered as one of love, kindness, and humility. His presence brought light and joy to those around him, and his absence leaves a profound void in the hearts of all who knew him.

John is survived by his loving wife, Celine John; adored children, Maureen John and Martin John; dear siblings, George Arackal, A.M. Mathew, and Thomas Mathew.

John was preceded in death by his dear brother, A.M. Jose.
