On March 4th, 2023 FDNY Firefighter John Fanelli (retired) died suddenly and tragically at the age of 48. John was a 9/11 First Responder who suffered health issues related to his service. He leaves behind his beloved wife Kim and four children, aged 17 to 5 years old. John retired from the FDNY with 22 years of service, 19 years as a Firefighter and 3 years as an EMT. He also served his community in the Massapequa Fire Department for 12 years, reaching the rank of lieutenant. Being a firefighter wasn't what John did, it was who he was. He touched so many lives in a positive way through his years of selfless service. Please donate to help his family navigate this incredibly difficult time.

Rest In Peace John. Condolences to the Family
Lt Dude you always made me laugh Rip 🙏🏻🙏🏻 ( OC )
I'm so sorry for your loss. The last time I saw John was at the twin's baptism. We sat next to each other, as Jack's godparents. When the priest spontaneously had a vow renewal for my brother, John choked up at the priest's words. He whispered to me that he hoped he was a positive example of what love is, to his children. I have hundreds of memories of John having everyone in tears from laughing. But underneath, he loved fiercely and loyally. Thank you for being such a good friend to my brother. RIP John.
John treated me like a gentleman as a probie in 52 engine. Great guy to work with. Missed him when he transferred out. RIP brother
My condolences to the family!!! I wish I could give more!
