The Dugan and Mohr families are grieving an unimaginable loss following the sudden and heartbreaking passing of John Dugan of Ocala, Florida. In the early hours of the morning, a phone call no one ever expects delivered the devastating news that John—an extraordinary man, friend, and loved one—had left this world far too soon. His passing has shaken all who knew him, leaving a void that can never be filled.
To those blessed to share life with him, John was the kind of person who made every room brighter simply by being in it. He had a gift for greeting others with genuine warmth, kindness, and an easy smile that put people at ease. In just a few short years, he became more than a friend to many—he became family. He earned the affectionate title “Uncle John,” not by blood, but by the deep connection, care, and love he brought into the lives around him. His presence was steady, comforting, joyful, and unforgettable.
The depth of this loss is felt most profoundly by his beloved wife, Danielle, and their son, Liam, who remain in the thoughts and prayers of countless friends, relatives, and community members.

Danielle is being read each and every message, and while the pain remains overwhelming, she wants everyone to know that these heartfelt expressions of support are offering the slightest but deeply meaningful comfort. The family is profoundly grateful for the outpouring of love.
Details regarding services and memorial arrangements will be shared when the family is ready. For now, they ask for continued prayers—for Danielle, for Liam, and for all who loved John.
John Dugan will be remembered forever for his kindness, his heart, and the way he made others feel valued and welcomed. His light remains in the countless lives he brightened, and though he is no longer physically here, his spirit lives on in the memories and love he leaves behind.
