With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of John William Carney on February 17, 2025, at the age of 71. Born on February 10, 1954, John was a devoted husband, a loving family man, and a proud U.S. Navy veteran who served his country with honor and dedication.
John was the beloved husband of Allie Carney, with whom he shared 30 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. His warmth, kindness, and unwavering support made him a pillar of strength for his family and friends.
A graduate of Northern Kentucky University, John valued education and lifelong learning. He dedicated his career to the building supply industry and later worked in supply chain management, where his strong work ethic and leadership earned him the respect of colleagues and friends alike.
In his free time, John enjoyed woodworking, creating beautiful and lasting pieces for his family and friends.

February 19, 2025 at 8:28 pmI enjoyed working with John at the airport. He was one of the kindest people I have met. I could search for an hour for a part number, and John could figure it out in two minutes.
