John Paneto, 56, born and raised in Brooklyn, NY is now resting in peace, in the arms of his Savior, Jesus Christ. He was born on June 22, 1961.

He was preceded in death by his father; Jesus Paneto and one brother; Luis Paneto.

He is survived by his mother; Paulita DeJesus Rivera Rosado and step-father, Hector Rosado, one son; Ladon James Paneto, three daughters; Sophia Johnequia Perkins, Johnela Elsa Perkins, Johnovea Perkins (Rakee) Lowe, three grandchildren; Javian Javier Williams, Zariyah Sophia Hogan, Dansani Janae Clements; one brother; Vincent Paneto, two sisters; Milagro "Millie" (Rick) Lugo, Juanita (Donovan) Taylor, and several nephews, nieces, and cousins.

John or "Papo" as he was affectionally called by those who knew and loved him, was a soul to remember. He was a true soldier of life and love. He strived to make his mark. Very few understood him, but those who knew him knew a man with an open and generous soul. He didn't have much, but what he had, he freely gave. His unpretentious ways touched everyone who knew him. When you met Papo, you met an original maverick, an honest heart who left an indelible mark on all who loved him.

We will all miss you Papo. Our friend and brother. May you Rest In Peace.
