John Patrick McVicker

March 21, 1961 — June 30, 2025

John P. McVicker, 64, of Vadnais Heights MN, passed away June 30, 2025. John was born March 21, 1961 in Chicago, Illinois to Robert and Mary McVicker, the fourth of seven children. He attended St. Cornelius Elementary and Taft High School in Chicago, where he made lifelong friends. 

In 1979, the family moved to Mankato MN, where John graduated from Mankato West High School and went on to earn a BS degree at Minnesota State University.

In 1997, John married Susan Koniar, the love of his life, in White Bear Lake. They shared and enjoyed many hobbies together: camping, kayaking, entertaining, biking and traveling. John often said he’d won the lottery of life when he met Susan. John was a favorite to all his nieces and nephews. He was generous, fun, kind, loving and a friend to all. We will miss his laughter, humor and everything about him. John made lifelong friends wherever he went. John was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife Susan and his six siblings: Margaret, Joseph (Sue), Kathleen (Jim), Kevin (Marlene), Robert, and Colleen (Carl) and many loving cousins, nieces and nephews.

A service celebrating John's life will be held at Bradshaw Celebration of Life Center, 2800 Curve Crest Boulevard, Stillwater, Minnesota on Thursday, July 10, 2025 at 11:00am with a visitation one hour prior.
