After his service, John moved to Frederick, Maryland to be near his sister and her family. John worked at Frederick Memorial hospital as an Emergency Department technician. While working at the hospital, John met his wife, Susan (Szczesny) Gibert.

John met the love of his life and after only 6 months of dating he made sure that he had her hand in marriage, October 20, 2001. John and Susan have a beautiful daughter, Malia Gibert. Malia was John's pride and joy. John loved his daughter with his whole heart and soul.

John was good at anything he did. He loved everything from the 80's and 90's, especially music. He loved helping his daughter, Malia, pursue her love of horses. Many countless hours of watching Malia train and compete at horse shows, was his joy. He provided Malia with the opportunity to own her own horses, trailer and all.
