John Francis Chevalier

John Francis Chevalier, age 63, of Holyoke, passed away at his home on Monday, June 13, 2022 after a long illness. He was born in Holyoke, son of the late Gene and Mary Ellen (McMahon) Chevalier and was a graduate of Holyoke Catholic High School. John worked at Ampad for 27 years, and then at Berry Plastic until he became ill. He was a communicant of Blessed Sacrament Church. John’s greatest passion was sailing. He could often be found working on his boat in Providence, RI, or sailing up and down the New England coast; he had wonderful stories of visiting Martha’s Vineyard, Block Island, Cape Ann, and Cape Cod. John loved his family and was proud of his cooking skills. He had an incredible sense of humor that will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. John is survived by his longtime life-partner, Natasha Nasikovskaya of Holyoke; a son, James Chevalier and his wife Noel of Easthampton; a daughter, Maggie Chevalier of Holyoke; his siblings: Daniel Chevalier, Linda McCarthy, Thomas Chevalier, and James Chevalier and their spouses, as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
