John Thomas Lyons

EAST FISHKILL- John T. Lyons, a Hopewell Junction resident for over 18 years, died at home on November 8. He was 56 years old.

John was born to the late Peter & Rose Ann (Kersting) Lyons on August 28th, 1970 in the Bronx. He received his B.S. in Management and Finance from Binghamton University in 1994, and his MBA in Finance from Northwestern University in 2000. In 2013 John was the commencement speaker at the Binghamton University School of Management graduation. John began his career in finance in New York City and eventually became the founder of J Cubed LLC; a financial consulting firm located in Hopewell Junction.

In his free time, John enjoyed playing the bass guitar and listening to a wide variety of music. A lifelong avid New York Yankees fan, he had just recently gotten back into collecting baseball cards. John was known and loved for his warmth, generosity, and witty sense of humor. A devoted husband and father, John loved his family with all of his heart and truly enjoyed time spent together-especially on their family trips to Disney World.

On April 4th, 1998, John married the love of his life, Shana (Prinzo) at St. Mary's Church in Fishkill. The two met during their time at Binghamton University when they lived across the hall from one other. John often joked that he was too lazy to go looking for love any further than across the hallway, and fortunately for him, it worked out beautifully.

Shana survives John at home along with his children, John II & Julianne. He is also survived by his siblings, Suzanne Haight & Peter Lyons, several nieces & nephews, and countless aunts, uncles and cousins-a very large and loving Irish American family.

Calling hours will take place on Friday, November 13 from 4:00 to 8:00 PM at the McHoul Funeral Home Inc., 895 Route 82, Hopewell Junction, NY 12533.
