- Welcome to Daley Life Celebration Studio, where we Celebrate the Color of Life.
John Netherby
From the days of his youth, John was a joyous guy. At the Marie Katzenback School for the deaf, he was always in the center of the crowd. He was a great student and athlete; as a cross-country runner he was 2nd string deaf All American, MVP his 2nd, third and fourth and featured in an article “He never hears the steps.” He cheered for the Phillis and the Eagles but was most into the Flyers. The only exception was when they played the Penguins; he was a huge Mario Lemieux fan. He liked to do a little skiing and was into street hockey. He retired from Ikea as a forklift operator and was most recently employed at the Amazon Warehouse in Carneys Point. John was strong in his faith; a member of St. Stephen’s Church in Mullica Hill and he was an acolyte at Christ Church in Woodbury in his youth.
He is survived by his parents, Richard and Charlotte Netherby; his brother, David; and favorite cousins, Fred Erika and Heather.
Come celebrate 58 great years, 11 a.m. Saturday November 15 at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church of Mullica Hill, 51 North Main Street, Mullica Hill.

Henry and I were very sad to hear of the passing of John. He had such a sparkling personality and a love of life.

Tina and I are deeply saddened by the passing of John. A wonderful person and beloved son. Our sympathy and prayers go out to Rich, Charlotte and David. May John’s memory be eternal!
Love Jim and Tina Kemmerer
A fighter from day one. John dealt with what some considered handicaps with humor and a can-do attitude. We know he couldn’t hear, but he read and wrote English, used ASL and patiently taught anyone who wanted to learn. A caring brother and a loving son and Godson. Rest from your labors.
My deepest sympathy to Charlotte, Richard, David and all who knew John.
I am very sad to hear this…I coached john on the MKSD Cross Country team. I remember his enthusiasm and positive attitude…Brother David was also on the team. I only coached him 1 year but I never forgot him or his best buddy Eric Shull (sp?) who passed away way too soon as well… God speed John
So sorry to hear of john’s passing. I remember playing with him at Grandma and Grampa Nertherby’s in ocean city and swedesboro. He was so nice. May God comfort you in this painful time.
I just learned of John’s passing – Im am so very sorry for your loss. he and my brother Erik were great friends during their Katzenback years, and are now reunited in heaven. Sending prayers for your entire family from the Shull family.
