John P. ThunderHawk Carney III's Obituary
John P. ThunderHawk Carney III, 37 of Vineland, passed away, on Thursday afternoon July 26, 2012 in South Jersey Regional Medical Center, Vineland, where he had been a patient for the past six weeks.
John was born in Philadelphia, the son of the late John P. and Shirley A. (nee Harmon) Carney. He had grown up and attended public schools in the Philadelphia area and had been a resident of this area for the past 20 years.
John held a Masters Degree in Psychology and was employed as a Unit Director for Elwyn New Jersey in Vineland, where he had been employed for the past 16 years. He loved traveling, weight lifting, and was an avid Eagles football fan. He was a member of the Nanticoke Lenni Lenape Indian Tribe of Bridgeton, and was proud of his native heritage. John loved reading, especially the Bible, which he read in full several times. He also enjoyed watching movies, but he especially loved spending time with his family, especially his many nieces and nephews, and being around people in general. He always had a positive outlook on life, and will be truly missed.
John is survived by his four sisters Sarah E. Pierce of Millville, Shelly Ann Carney and Santos Ramos of Millville, Lisa M Siner and her husband Wilson of Collingswood, NJ, Angela L. Durham and her husband Luther of Millville, his one brother, Guy Warren Harmon and Julie Caldwell of Vineland, and several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and great nieces and nephews.
