Honoring John: Support for His Legacy

Donation protected
John Michael Mercurio, owner of Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara CA has unexpectedly passed due to heart issues. John has been an owner of his and his wife, Ellyn Mercurio's auto body shop for 37 years. Ellyn and John Mercurio have been happily married for 37 years. Starting their life in 1991 in their Santa Clara home. Raising 3 daughters all 4 years apart. In 2019, the Mercurio family moved to Morgan Hill CA. On October 26th 2024, John was rushed to the emergency room struggling to breathe, he was rushed in for CPR and unfortunately passed at 5:11 am.

John is remembered as an amazing husband, friend, brother, uncle, grandpa, father in law, son and most importantly father. Everyone who knew John knew the character he was and how he would never fail to create smiles and laughter wherever he went. He was an amazing man that did everything for those around him. He had the biggest heart, so big that it failed him. He left the world and shattered it.

John had a bigger dream, he wouldn't go a day without showing his love for his dog bosa who if you knew John was his shadow and companion and he wouldn't go anywhere without him. As well as his horse waylyn who was his world and kept him happy. John dreamt of retirement on a ranch house with land where he'd have his family, horses, and dogs all in one place. Johns dream was taken from him, shattering his entire family and the world.

John now leaves behind so many, including his three daughters and wife who loved him unconditionally. John made sure everyone knew they were loved and didn't go a day without showing it. That is the kind of man John was, as we grieve we remember him as the rock of not only our family but to the world.

Unfortunately, life goes on and finances continue to become a burden. With the suffering of losing John, we are looking for financial help to give John the peace he deserved in lying to rest.

Rest in paradise John Michael Mercurio.
