Obituary*Mar 13, 2023  OBITUARY: John Wayne McCoy died unexpectedly on February 11, 2023, following a brief illness. John was born in Newport, Vt on April 26, 1961, to Dean and Margot McCoy. John attended North Country High School, where he met and friended his best bud while in school, James Campbell. He competed in The Special Olympics, where he won several of his races and was awarded medals and ribbons. John loved life, and his smile was always huge and contagious, especially when he saw his family. His favorite pastime was Bowling with family. He enjoyed many things, and his love for all things Westerns was also at the top of the list. John's other favorite hobbies were fishing, basketball, soccer, anything with a ball really. He also loved to write and put puzzles together. John had many loves in his life, "The Fonz" from Happy Days "Ayyy", and his greatest love, who he talked about often, Daisy from Dukes of Hazzard. He also held a special affection for his brother-in-law, Larry Moulton, his great nephew Brendan Scelza, his nephews John Thibeault (JT), and Caleb Royer, and his special friend Scott Scelza.
John is survived by his siblings Brigitte and Larry Moulton of Brownington, VT; Peter Mccoy of Brownington, VT; Lori Royer of Irasburg, VT; Tammy, and John Thibeault of Irasburg, VT. He is also survived by aunts, uncles, cousins, and many nieces, and nephews, and his dear family in Germany.
He is predeceased by his parents Dean and Margot McCoy, and his brother-in-law Denis Royer.
Celebration of Life will be held later this spring at the convenience of the family.
