John A. Brigham

JOHN A. BRIGHAM John Alfred Brigham, 68, of New Milford, PA after a fierce and courageous battle rode off smiling on his Harley through Heaven’s gates on August 26, 2023. Born on August 31, 1954, the son of the late Robert Kenneth and Mabel Marie Aiken Brigham. He attended Mountain View High School in Kingsley, PA. He served in the US Marine Corps. He was then employed and retired from Master’s Ready Mix Concrete after 34 years. He was also predeceased by his three brothers and a sister, William K. Brigham, Michael H. Brigham, Chester Brigham, and Susan Brigham. He is survived by his daughters, Kaye-Marie J. Brigham (John Fedourich) of New Milford, PA, Danielle E. Brigham (Edward Kalaf) of New Milford, PA, Becci Howe (Frank Eder) of Great Bend, PA, and Mindi L. (Jim) Carr, of New Milford, PA. His grandchildren, who were the lights of his life and called him “Papa Johnny,” Emalee, Aleks, Cassidy, Cameron, Kelsi, Ella, Xavier, and Oakley; his special granddaughter and best friend, Karris; a sister, Marian Louise Walton, of York, PA; many nieces and nephews; and beloved companion granddog, Monty. John enjoyed riding his motorcycle, playing golf, bowling, and driving cross country on many trips he took, usually with his children or grandchildren. But his favorite thing in life was spending time with his family whether it was a quick trip to Maine, early morning breakfasts, cruising, evening dinners at the Hibachi restaurant where he always insisted on paying, late night poker games, very early morning coffee dates while sitting on the deck, and the many, many shopping trips. He was always up to make time for each and every one of them. We couldn’t have asked for a better Dad and Papa, lovingly known as “The Legend” and “The King of Random.” The family wishes to express their deep appreciation to Dr. Mullen (UHS), Dr. Harris (Broome Oncology), and their teams. As well as his nurse, Emma from Hospice of the Sacred Heart. A funeral service will be held at noon on Saturday, September 2, 2023 at the Tuttle-Yeisley Funeral Home, Inc., Hallstead, PA. Interment will be made in South Street Cemetery, Chenango Forks, NY. Friends may call from 9-12, at the funeral home prior to the service.
