Obituary of John Thomas Sharkey

SHARKEY, JOHN T. “ JACK” of Circle Pines, MN. Jack was yet another victim of COVID 19 and died November 23, 2021. He went into the arms of God and his two beloved children, Susan (5-93) and Todd (7-21) who went before him. Jack is survived by his wife, Linda, after nearly 64 years of a great marriage and so much love. Also, by his beloved grandchildren, Shaina and Nathan Briscoe. Eighteen years ago, son, Todd, gave his dad one of his healthy kidneys, that gave his dad a lot of years to live. Jack spent his career in the field of mechanical engineering. He worked for Ellerbe A&E and HGA. He was happy with his work. He traveled extensively in the U.S. as well as China, Japan and Russia. His last major project was the Chicago Bears stadium and many sports facilities. He and Linda traveled as much as possible, by train, planes and camping. Lots of cherished memories. Jack was a gifted and talented man. His last five years he was the go-to maintenance man at Pine Manor in Circle Pines where we spent our last  years together. Jack will be missed by his wife Linda and his dog Rocco as well as his brother, Bob, and countless friends. Rest in Peace. Please get vaccinated, tested and wear a mask to save lives.
