It’s with heavy hearts that I share the passing of our colleague and friend, John Azar. John began his journey with Paychex in June 2013, contributing his dedication and spirit until May 2016, before rejoining Paychex and my team in August of 2023. Since his return, he has been an integral part of D84, bringing energy, optimism, and an unwavering willingness to support anyone who needed it.

John was always eager to help, sharing ideas and championing new processes that made our team stronger. He approached every challenge with enthusiasm and brought a warmth that lifted those around him. His commitment to achieving success and his genuine care for others touched everyone who had the privilege to work with him.

John was full of life in every sense, and his presence will be deeply missed. Our thoughts are with his family during this unimaginable time. As we remember John, may we honor his memory by embodying the kindness, generosity, and team spirit he shared with us all.

In support of John’s family, we are organizing this GoFundMe campaign to help ease the financial burden during this difficult time. All contributions will go directly to his loved ones — to help with funeral costs, immediate expenses, and to support them as they navigate this immense loss.

If you feel moved to contribute or share this message, any amount will make a meaningful difference. We are grateful for your support, compassion, and for joining us in honoring John’s legacy.
