John Quentin Vye

(August 23, 1942 - June 13, 2022)

John Quentin Vye, 79, passed away on June 13, 2022 in Fleming Island, FL, after a 5-year battle with Multiple System Atrophy.

John is survived by Cheryl Vye (nee Vollmer), his wife of 55 years, his brother Malcolm Vye, nephew Jerome Vye and wife Victoria, and two great nephews, Andrew and Christopher.

John was born August 23, 1942 in Gary, IN, to parents Rosa and James Preston Vye.  He graduated from Xavier University (Cincinnati, OH) and received his Masters of Business Administration from Miami University (Oxford, OH).  He served two years as an officer in the U.S. Army before beginning his 30 year career in marketing.

John was a life-long, avid sports fan.  He played several team-sports, and never met a sporting event he didn't like to watch (except maybe soccer).  Music was a great love, as was golf.  In retirement, his life revolved around golf and socializing with friends he met on the course.  His was a life well-lived and loved.

A graveside service will be held from 10:30am - 11:00am on Thursday July 7, 2022 at Jacksonville National Cemetery.

And since there was nothing that John enjoyed more than a good party, there will be a celebration of his life around the time of his 80th birthday.
