Loving Memory of John Barbera, Jr.


John Barbera, Jr., age 67, passed away peacefully at his home in Chatsworth on November 2, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and love. A beloved brother to Pam ( Neil), Cindy (Rich), Angelo (Diana), and a cherished uncle to his nieces and nephew—Missy (Eric Samson), Kristy (Ian Lynch), Becky (Phil Uribe), and Eric (Mari Washington), as well as a proud great-uncle to seven great-nieces and nephews. Chloe, Micah, Scarlett, June, Colin , Aiden and Kayleigh 


Johnny was known for his generous heart and unwavering loyalty to family. He spent his career working for major movie studios, where he often traveled to supervise labor teams and manage set construction on location. His kindness touched everyone he met, and his passing leaves an empty space in the hearts of all who loved him. His wit and sense of humor always made him the fun one in the family, sharing countless stories that brought laughter to those around him.

Johnny was also an incredible musician. As a part of a musical family he learned to play guitar at a very young age and continued to master the art throughout his life. Music was his true passion, and nothing brought him more joy. He also loved playing the piano and keyboard, invoking his own style, allowing him to connect with others. Self-taught and incredibly talented, Johnny had a gift for picking up any instrument he desired and making each piece his own, playing with a style that was uniquely his.



In his younger years, Johnny was passionate about the outdoors. He was an avid golfer, loved motorcycles, and enjoyed traveling with friends, restoring cars, and taking on home improvement projects. A true animal lover, his home became a haven for wayward cats, where they found safety and affection.


Johnny’s memory will forever be cherished. He will be deeply missed by family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him. He will live in our hearts always.
