Obituary
John Sutherland, 60 years young, left this world on October 3, 2024 to join his loved ones on the other side.
John was also known as Rick or Ricky but most importantly as “Dad.” He loved nascar, attending horse races, watching the NFL (Especially his Detroit Lions), eating Mexican food and was always there when anyone needed him. He was a jack of all trades and could fix anything. He took pride in keeping up with his truck and enjoyed traveling for work. He had a great sense of humor and could make anyone laugh in any situation. He was my hero and always will be.
John was born in Phoenix, AZ and was raised in Rossford, OH. He was preceded in death by his mother, Rita Krajicek, and stepdad, Andrew Krajicek Jr. of Port Charlotte, FL. He is survived by his best friend and sister Ardith Shelley Goodman, daughter Ardith Nicole Sutherland, cousins Mark and Dani Mathis ,grandchildren Dominic, Jayden and Antonio along with many family and friends.
Baldwin Brothers is honored to serve the Sutherland family.
He was good at his work, once at his job site his boss called him the best drywall man/painter in South Florida.
Rick would give you his shirt off his back he was always there to help someone out. He will surely be missed by my wife Dani & myself.
We would frequently fly to Florida for a visit and Rick and his Sister Shelley would always treat us like family.
So long Buddy, Mark
He would give the shirt off his back to his family and friends.
He loved having my wife Dani and I fly to Florida to spend time together.
We will surely miss his laughter and good times. Mark & Dani Mathis
Rick is now in heaven with our family. I take comfort in knowing that he is in good hands. I know that he is watching over us until we meet again.
