John Patrick Nesbitt

John Patrick Nesbitt, 63, of Beverly, Massachusetts and Roan Mountain, Tennessee, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, November 3, 2025. Born on August 4, 1962, in Salem, Massachusetts, John grew up in Beverly before settling in Nashua, New Hampshire with his beloved wife and children. John proudly served his country in the United States Air Force. Following his military service, he began his career with the Department of Defense before transitioning to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), allowing him to return home to New England. Over his remarkable 37-year career in government service, John contributed greatly to the aviation community. He began as an engineering technician in the Environmental Unit and played a key role in the construction of the Boston Consolidated TRACON in 2004. In 2009, he was promoted to Environmental Supervisor of the TRACON, a position he held until his retirement in 2019. John was known for his sharp mind, strong work ethic, and generous spirit. He could fix just about anything—from a car engine to a leaky faucet—and always found joy in helping others. In retirement, he discovered a new passion for model trains, meticulously restoring and expanding his collection into an elaborate display that his grandson loved to visit and admire. He cherished time spent with family and friends, whether it was riding his motorcycle, camping, traveling, relaxing by the pool, or enjoying the peace of the outdoors. John was the devoted husband of the late Catherine Nesbitt, and the loving father of Patrick Nesbitt of Dunbarton, NH, Alicia (Nesbitt) Golia and her husband Dan of Marshfield, MA, and the late Courtney Nesbitt. He was the proud grandfather of Leo Golia, who brought him endless joy. He was predeceased by his parents, Thomas and Elizabeth (Betty) Nesbitt, and his parents-in-law, Mary and James Turner. He is survived by his siblings Susan Locke and her husband John, Eileen Hadley and her husband John, Timothy Nesbitt, and Thomas Nesbitt and his wife Marilyn Curry, along with nine nieces and nephews who will remember him fondly. John’s family loved him deeply and will miss him beyond measure. Following cremation, a time of visitation will be held on Wednesday, November 12th, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at Dumont-Sullivan Funeral Home, 50 Ferry Street, Hudson, NH. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations in John’s loving memory may be made to Home Health & Hospice Care, Attention: Community Hospice House, Merrimack, NH, or online at www.hhhc.org.
