Obituary of John Carlton Gallagher

John Carlton Gallagher was born on December 16, 1997. He went by the name Jay. He grew up in Ashburn and then Sterling with his parents, Tim and Erin Gallagher, and two sisters, Lindsay, 16, and Laurenne,13. He grew up playing soccer and baseball but quickly moved to his loves of Golf and Hockey. He played both sports for Potomac Falls High School as well as being active in the Engineering Club (President) and a member of SOFA (the PFHS Inprov group). He excelled academically and was looking to pursue an Engineering Degree at University of South Carolina, Purdue University, or Virginia Tech. Jay will be sorely missed by all that love him. His energy and smile were appreciated by all and his quick wit by some. We love you, Buddy, and will miss you every day.
