JOHN M. HOPKINS, Age 74 of Chardon died May 11, 2020 at Briar Hill Care Center, after a long battle with dementia. Born March 19, 1946 to Wanda (nee: Cunningham) and Elvy Hopkins, he has been a lifelong area resident.

John was a loving, caring husband and father of two children. He and Cindy were High School sweethearts and celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last year. He was a proud U.S. Army veteran of the Vietnam War. John was a quiet, kind man who loved antiques of his youth, model trains and his 1963 Chevy Impala convertible. He took it to many car shows. He was a master of trivia to the amazement of others. Words can not express how deeply he will be missed.

Survivors include his wife Cindy (Sudyk) of Chardon, son Christopher of Chardon, his brother Denny (Sue) Hopkins of Dana, FL, granddaughters Haley and Madison Brown. He also leaves his nephews Matthew and Steven Hopkins. John was preceded in death by his parents and daughter, Catherine Brown.

Private family services will be held at a later date. Arrangements handled by Burr Funeral Home, 116 South Street, Chardon. The family suggests donations to The Alzheimer's Association. https://alz.org/
