John Peter Wakely, eldest son of Ann Reeves and the late Peter Wakely, died Sunday, December 16, 2018, surrounded by his loving family. He was born in England on February 13, 1956. John will be remembered for his fierce independence in addition to his strength and will in overcoming so many difficulties during his life. He loved his cats, horse racing, and “all things English.” John’s love for soccer knew no bounds. An avid Liverpool fan, his greatest wish came true when he was able to watch his team play last summer. We will always love and miss you, John. We will keep you close in our hearts until we meet again and watch you play on the “big soccer field in the sky!
