In Memoriam

John Patrick Falco, Sr., of Fort Washington, PA, passed away on Sunday, November 23, 2025 at the age of 52.

Born in Norristown and raised in Lansdale, John was a devoted husband to his wife Priscilla and a loving father to his three children, Ellie, Anna, and Jack.

John was the best dad. He loved his family more than anything and was present for nearly every soccer game, swim meet, and school event, cheering from the sidelines and supporting his children in every way. His devotion, encouragement, and unwavering presence shaped his children’s lives and filled his family’s home with love and laughter.

John was a graduate of Lansdale Catholic High School, Lasalle University, and Temple Law School. He became a well-respected lawyer in Philadelphia. He was admired for his knowledge of the law, but more than that, he was loved for the way he made everyone around him feel like family.

John will be remembered for his sharp mind, quiet strength, generous spirit, and boundless warmth. He enjoyed cheering on the Phillies and Eagles and had a passion for healthy debate, especially when arguing the other side. He pushed others to think more deeply while doing so with humor, insight, and good-natured charm. His faith grounded him, shaped his values, and guided the way he lived.

He is survived by his loving wife of 15 years, Priscilla (née Broomell); his daughters, Eleanor and Anna; and his son, John P. “Jack” Falco Jr. He is also survived by his parents, Joseph and Anne (née Farrow) Falco; his siblings: Joseph (Lisa), Theresa (Tony) Wydan, Charles (Susan), and James (Lauren); his in-laws: John and Wendy Broomell; and his brother-in-law: Jeb (Mia) Broomell.
