John Floyd Verhovec II
Age 18
Sandusky, Ohio
Animal lover, Steelers fan, frequent helper
He was an animal lover (his favorites were birds and dogs) and a Pittsburgh Steelers fan. He worked for the Neighbor to Neighbor Food Pantry near his home.
He was always willing to help others, whether strangers or loved ones. The last thing he did was show off a semiautomatic handgun to his friends. He had taken the magazine out of the pistol, but there was still one round left in the chamber.
John Floyd Verhovec II, 18, died at his home in Sandusky, Ohio, on Feb. 15, 2018, from an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound.
