John T. Brothis, 80, of Meadville, PA, passed away peacefully on December 26, 2024, at the Rolling Fields Eldercare Community with Judy his loving wife of 55 years by his side. He was born on July 20, 1944, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, to Thomas and Stella (Pappas) Brothis.

Arrangements are in the care of Ryan M. Warren Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Inc., 544 Chestnut Street, Meadville.

Dear Judy, this came as such as shock. It’s as though we just had lunch yesterday. So glad that we had that time together, since the both of you have always been a special part of my life. John was an amazing individual who always brought a smile to my face. You certainly will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Judy.
So sorry to hear of the loss of John. I have such fond memories of working together all those years ago at HPC. We always enjoyed visiting both you in Myrtle and the rounds of golf with John were always an adventure with lots of laughs. He was quite the character, one you won’t forget, who had such a good heart. My deepest sympathy.
Judy, I am so sorry to hear about John. He was a character like no other and it was always a joy to visit with the two of you every time we went to Myrtle Beach. I’m sending you lots of hugs and prayers.
