John Henry Willoughby

John Henry Willoughby, age 82, of Cheraw, South Carolina, passed away at his home on Sunday, March 8, 2026.

Born on September 13, 1943 in Queens, New York, he was the son of the late William and Elizabeth Broschart Willoughby. John had a lifelong passion for anything with an engine. Whether exploring car shows, competing at the drag strip, or riding his motorcycle on the open road, he carried a smile wherever he went. When he sought quieter moments, he found peace on the water, content to fish for hours regardless of the catch. Above all, he cherished sharing good meals with the people he loved.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Adele; his father-in-law, Necomedes Sitcherita; and his mother-in-law, Rosa Loder Sitcherita.

He is survived by his wife of ten years, Josefina Willoughby of the home; his sister, Diana McCabe of Arizona; nephews Shawn McCabe and Travis McCabe; niece Rose; grandchildren Joy Hermosa, Honey Grace, Emanuel Ace, Beatriz, Mark Joseph, Zachary, Jim Dominic, Rain Alexis, Luke Allistaire, and Princess Rocheal; brothers and sisters-in-law Hermenio, Enrique, Sotero, Lorna, Doroteo, Ma. Teresa, and Zaldy; nieces and nephews-in-law Jose Eric, Ana Mea, Mark Anthony, Sweden, Rose, Jim, Chloue, Rosenail, Castor, Jomarie, Jonnel, Joan, Jean, and Jennylyn; and his beloved pet, Snowy.
