John George Breuler, 72, of Orange, passed away peacefully on February 12, 2026, while surrounded by his loving family. John was born on January 9, 1954, in New Haven, CT, to the late Robert Breuler and Yolanda Vitelli Breuler. He was the beloved husband of Helen Oliverio Breuler for over 31 years.

John dedicated more than 20 years of his life to working as an electrician at Bayer, where he formed many lasting friendships, including meeting the love of his life during their time there.

A deeply godly man, his faith guided everything he did. He found peace and strength in reading the Bible daily, attending church, and encouraging others with kindness and sincerity. John believed a stranger was just a friend he hadn’t met yet, and he lived that belief daily. Whether riding his bicycle, driving one of his various sports cars in the warm weather, working out at the Orange Community Center gym, reading and writing poetry, taking car rides with his beloved dog Buster, or rebuilding and admiring classic cars, he embraced life’s simple joys with gratitude.

Above all else, he was most proud to call himself a husband, father, grandfather and friend. His family was his greatest blessing and accomplishment, and he loved them with unwavering devotion. He will be remembered for his faith, his encouragement, and the steady, selfless love he gave so freely.

In addition to his beloved wife, Helen, John is survived by his cherished daughter Colette Breuler, brother Michael Breuler, and his fur baby Buster Brown, who was his constant companion. As well as his brother-in-law Mike Oliverio (Laurie), sister-in-law Marlene Oliverio (Bobby), grand-fur baby Tank Armani, and many additional beloved nieces, nephews, family and friends.

John joins his beloved grandson Tyler John Breuler in Heaven. He was also predeceased by his brothers Anthony Breuler, Gary Breuler, and Robert Breuler. Brother-in-law Nick Oliverio, brother-in-law Bobby Oliverio, sister-in-law Pamela Breuler, father-in-law Nicholas Oliverio, and mother-in-law Helen Oliverio.
