John "Jack" Howard Landry Sr., of Severna Park, MD, passed away peacefully on March 13, 2023, at his home surrounded by his loving family.  He was 75 years old.

Born June 11, 1947, in Worcester, MA, Jack was the beloved son of the late Rita Mae and Leon Howard Landry.  He enlisted in the Marine Corp at 17 years old proudly served one tour in Santa Domingo and two tours in Vietnam.  He was a decorated Marine with a Presidential Unit Citation, a Purple Heart, a Vietnam Service Medal with a Star, a Vietnam Campaign Medal, a National Defense Medal, and an Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal.  When John arrived back on American soil, he was employed at United Parcel Service for 20 years.

As a proud Marine, Jack faithfully lived his life by the code – God, Family, Country, Corp.  His relationship with Jesus Christ was very important to him and always surrounded himself with his family and friends.  He loved his family, his dogs, his friends, telling stories, telling jokes, listening to his music for hours, the outdoors where he enjoyed riding motorcycles, camping, swimming, and getting up early to watch the sun rise.  If you were his friend, you were a friend for life.

In 2007, Jack moved to Maryland to be with his oldest son John and youngest daughter Kara where he lived until he passed.  He is survived by his sons John Jr. (Kimberly) and Keith; daughters Kristen (Aaron Carchedi) and Kara (Casey Montag); sisters Carol Mercurio and Judy Laukaitis; brother Paul; former wife Marcia Kollios; grandchildren Brooks Hathway, Courtney and Colton Wilson, Joseph, John, and Cameron Caderette, Jaclyn and James Landry, Jake Carchedi, Sophia Grace Montag; great grandchildren Chelsea Rae Lewis and Graeme Lankford; and many nieces and nephews, all of whom he loved dearly.

In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by his sister Joyce Lavoie.
