John William Cusick, 73, of Allendale, Illinois went to his heavenly home on Friday, May 22, 2026 at his home in Allendale, Illinois.
John was born January 6, 1953 in Mt Carmel, Illinois to George and Pearl (Winter) Cusick. He was a member of the First Christian Church in Allendale, IL. John began his career as a mechanic at John Deere Implement in Mt. Carmel, Illinois and later worked at Forge-Plating at Snap-On Tools for 30 years. He was also a proud member of the Allendale Fire Department, and was a dispatcher for Wabash County Ambulance Service when it was operated by volunteer EMTs. He enjoyed working on motors with his grandsons.
