John Joseph Karpovich, Jr., 70 of Vienna, Virginia formerly of Shenandoah Heights passed away on Thursday, October 15, 2020 at INOVA Hospital in Fairfax, VA due to complications resulting from a fall. His wife of 40 years, Dianne Bona, was by his side. Born in Fountain Springs on December 15, 1949, he was the son of John J. Karpovich, Sr. who survives in Shenandoah Heights and the late Mary (Trusky) Karpovich who preceded him in death on February 4, 2019. He was a 1967 graduate of the former Immaculate Heart High School and a 1971 graduate of Allentown College, now DeSales University. He spent his career in the public sector in Washington, D.C. and Bangor, WA working for the U.S. Navy Publications and Printing Service. He ultimately retired from the Defense Logistics Agency after 25 years of service and numerous Meritorious Service awards. John enjoyed golf, completing the daily crossword puzzle and was a frequent visitor to Shenandoah accompanying his mother to many East Coast casinos and her morning trips to the Park Restaurant. He was an inveterate reader, a generous friend to all and a die-hard Washington sports fan with a great sense of humor­ - a necessary quality most seasons. He most especially cherished his role as grandfather to Alexandra "Lexie" Linderman and Grant Olson. Surviving, in addition to his wife, Dianne is his 95 year old father, John J. Karpovich, Sr. of Shenandoah Heights; brother Thomas J. "Tom" Karpovich and sister-in-law Ann of Morea; children, Lisa Linderman and her husband, Will of Ashburn, VA; and Jacquelyn Karpovich Olson and her husband, Chris of Alexandria, VA; two beloved grandchildren, Lexie and Grant; his niece Magdalene Riggins and her husband, Brett, and a nephew Leon Karpovich; aunts and uncles and many other beloved family and friends.
