John Michael Saich
Obituary
John Michael Saich was born December 16, 1951 in San Jose, California, the only son of John Edward Saich and Velma Clarise Saich. He was raised in an agricultural environment surrounded by apricot orchards in Cupertino that his parents tended to. John began studies at The University of San Francisco in 1970 with a full basketball scholarship. At 35, John Saich became a father to Nichole Lynn Saich and fatherhood was one of his greatest joys. John worked in real estate for most of his life before retiring and enjoying his passion of farming and growing produce, which he always shared with his many friends and loved ones. His last years were spent in the sunshine growing pumpkins and assorted vegetables with his adoring daughter and eventual son-in-law, Shahin Gutierrez. John was a unique man composed of endless generosity, sincere kindness, and filled with humor. He possessed a true good-hearted nature. John wouldn't say he loved you with words, he would show you with acts of sincere affection. His smile, laughter, and genuine consideration for others will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known him. He passed away January 4, 2022.
