John Giroux Obituary

John R. Giroux, 58, of Fort Wayne, passed away on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne. He was born on October 10, 1967, in Fort Wayne, the son of the late John J. and Anita Giroux. John was a graduate of North Side High School in Fort Wayne. He worked as an auto mechanic and was the proud owner of Taz's Auto Repair. John had a lifelong love for motorcycles and a remarkable talent for fixing just about anything. Known for his creativity, he could make something out of nothing and was always willing to lend a helping hand. John was the kind of man who would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need - a good guy to have on your side. He is survived by his nephew, Aaron Miller of Fort Wayne; and close friends, Raymond Prater and Kristian Martin, both of Fort Wayne, and many other good friends. Private services will be held. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of John R. Giroux, please visit our floral store.
