OBITUARY John “Jack” Marino, Jr. O f Los Angeles , CA. Passed away peacefully on November 12, 2025, after a brief illness at the age of 72. Born on December 22, 1952, in Everett, John discovered early on his love for fi lmmaking, drawing, and writing—a natural storyteller with a creative spirit and a lifelong passion for the entertainment industry. A proud graduate of Pope John XXIII High School, Class of 1972, John went on to earn a degree in Criminal Justice from Northeastern University. After marrying the love of his life, Louise, he moved to California, where he built a long and fulfi lling career in fi lm and radio. John is survived by his beloved wife, Louise Marino; his children, Kathleen L. Marino and John J. Marino III; his father, John Marino Sr.; and his sister, Joan Marino, and his twin granddaughters, Elizabeth and Alexandra. He is preceded in death by his mother, Claire Marino. Throughout his life and career, John formed many meaningful friendships, while also maintaining close bonds with his childhood friends. He and Louise were blessed with a wide circle of loving and loyal companions, all of whom were welcomed into their home and treated as family. Family and friends were invited to attend a visitation and services at the J.F. Ward Funeral Home, Everett on Sunday, November 23rd . His funeral was held on Monday, from the funeral home, followed by a Funeral Mass at Sacred Hearts Church, Malden. Services concluded with interment at Holy Cross Cemetery in Malden.
