John Peter Romanov

     It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of John Peter Romanov, 73, who left this world on October 9, 2025, in Ft. Myers, Florida. Born in Long Island, New York, John was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, whose legacy of kindness and generosity will forever remain in the hearts of his family and friends.

      John was a dedicated owner of Cape Paradise Management, where he thrived as a general contractor for over thirty years. His craftsmanship and commitment to his work earned him the respect of many in the community. In addition to his contracting career, John, alongside his beloved wife Christina, managed Christina’s Critters, a cherished petting farm that spread joy and wonder to countless families and children. Their warm and welcoming presence was a beacon of kindness in the community, and they were known for their unwavering generosity and love for animals.

      John was a man of many admirable traits—loyal, kind, funny, and honest. His playful spirit was infectious, lighting up any room he entered. He took great pleasure in caring for his farm and cherishing precious moments with his grandchildren, who brought him immeasurable joy. Above all, John loved his children deeply. They were the center of his world, and he instilled in them the values of compassion and integrity. His playful heart and love for life will be sorely missed.

      John is survived by his devoted wife, Christina; children John, Laurie, Jeffrey, Randi, Jason, Breona, Cody, and Isabella; grandchildren David, Dallas, Austin, Lillian, Julian, Bella, Jace, Emilia, and Judah; great-grandchildren Isabella, Noah, Emma, Gracie, Lainey, and Dawson; as well as siblings Billy, Scott, and Barbra. He was preceded in death by his sister, Karen.

       A Celebration of Life honoring John will take place on Friday, October 17, 2025, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Akin-Davis Funeral Home in LaBelle, Florida. Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of the vibrant life he led and the love he shared with all who knew him.

       John Peter Romanov will be remembered not only for his achievements and work but also for the joy he brought to others. May his spirit live on in the countless lives he touched.
