John A. Stokes

June 13, 1943 - March 29, 2021

Kingsbury: John A. Stokes, 77, passed away peacefully at home on Monday March 29, 2021, surrounded by his loving family, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was born on June 13, 1943 in York, PA. He was predeceased by his father; John A. Stokes Sr., his mother; Shirlee Mast, his first wife, Kathryn E. Stokes. Whether cruising the Caribbean with his wife Rose, boating on Lake George with his family or golfing with friends, John could either find the party or create it. Easy to make new acquaintances, John had a way of engaging people he just met that made it feel like they were old friends by evenings end. John welcomed a good time and believed the memories that were created with family and friends were the essence of life. Those memories came with something else John loved. Stories. An endearing storyteller, he had a seemingly endless catalog of hilarious and (mostly) true accounts from a life that spanned nearly eight decades. Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 24 years, Rose Stokes; his daughters, Cheryl Heinz (Andrew) ; Kristen Constantineau (Brian); step-son, Scott Brown; and step-daughter, Crystal Shortsleeves (Bill Parker). His grandchildren: Stephen (Hannah) Ashley (Dustin), Kaytlyn, Lauryn, Ella,, Kyrah, Sage, Sebastien, Ethan, Aydan, Elizabeth, and Charlotte; his great grandchildren: Emilee, Brayden, Dalton, and Piper. If you would like to hear some of his stories or share your own memories of John, the family invites you to join them in a memorial at the home he shared with his wife on Wednesday, April 7, 2021, from 1-4pm. If you need the address, please contact a family member. The family wishes like to thank Dr. Gilani & staff at the CR Cancer Center, Dr. Donohue & staff at Sloan Kettering, and High Peaks Hospice for their tremendous care and compassion given to John. For those who wish, a special remembrance may be made to the family by visiting www.sbfuneralhome.com. Arrangements are under the direction of the Regan Denny Stafford Funeral Home, 53 Quaker Rd, Queensbury, NY.
