John Charles Salus

John Charles Salus, age 67, of Labelle, Florida, passed away on February 8th, 2026 in the comfort of his own home with his wife, Renee, and dog Bo, by his side. John grew up in Fort Lauderdale with his parents, Joseph and Ethel and his brother Joseph (Patricia) who preceded him in death. John worked as a truck driver for Publix and as a Captain for Captiva Cruises on Captiva Island, Florida. In true John fashion, he was happiest driving “big things”. John found joy in country music, Miller Light, fishing, and spending time with his family and friends. John is survived by his wife, Renee, her children and John’s step children, Jonathan (Kellie), Jacki, Jordan, and Tara (Tim), and their grandkids Connor, Airilyn, Gabriella, Emmie, Jameson and Jack. John will be remembered fondly by his close family, cousins, friends, and coworkers. While our hearts are heavy with the loss of John, we find comfort in the fact that he is without pain and reunited with his parents and brother, somewhere on the water, in warmth, with a cold beer. A service to celebrate the life of John will be held at a time not decided yet.
