ASHLAND – John Harold Ochoa Alzate has tragically passed away, unexpectedly and suddenly, on October 13, 2020 at the age of 47.

He was a kind, intelligent, honorable, supportive, a bit reserved but also fun-loving, family man with a big loving heart, and he will be missed terribly by his loved ones – his wife Luba, his 3 sons – Daniel Simon Ochoa, Tommy Alexander Ochoa, and Jacob Joshua Ochoa; his mother Amparo Alzate Balseca; his father Rodrigo Balseca; his brother Ivan Rodrigo Balseca; his sister Gabriela Balseca Cueva; his nieces, nephews, cousins and the rest of the big extended family; his in-law family; his friends and his colleagues.

John’s last home was in Ashland; and he has lived in other Massachusetts towns before, as well as in Colombia and Ecuador. He loved his three sons deeply; he also loved music, keyboards and The Doors rock band; he loved mechanics and tinkering with electronics since he was a child; he enjoyed traveling and regarded the Basque part of Spain as one of the most beautiful places on earth; he loved and always cared for his family. Johnny – you will always be with us in our hearts, always.
