John P. Couture
Born to Eternal Life Oct. 8, 2017, age 45 years. Beloved son of Marianne (nee Konieczka) and the late Wilfrid Couture. Cherished brother of Mark, Marie and Joseph (Lisa Kretz) Couture. Dear nephew of Auntie Anne Konieczka and Sr. Patricia Couture, OSU of Waterville, Maine. Loving uncle of Brody and Dylan Kaminski and Jacqueline and Claire Couture. Further survived by other dear relatives and friends.
John was a graduate of Pius XI High School and of Marquette University. He was pursuing his Doctoral Degree in English at the University of Wisconsin -Milwaukee and teaching freshman English at Marquette University at the time of his unexpected passing.
Memorial donations received will be given in John’s memory to several of his preferred charities.
John was just the cooler big brother I never knew I wanted.
He smoked, he drank, played guitar, worshipped at the throne of the freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, quoted Rilke and questioned everything – always with that characteristic, sly “devil-may-care” smile.
Rest in power, prince… I’ll see you at bar time in the afterlife.
