John Lachetti Obituary, Death – On June 20, 2025, the world lost one of its truly good souls — John Iachetti, beloved Glen Rock resident, culinary artist, and community champion. His death leaves behind more than sorrow; it leaves behind a profound sense of gratitude for the life he lived so fully and generously.
As the face and force behind Iachetti’s Kitchen, John didn’t just serve meals — he served love. His restaurant was an extension of his spirit: warm, inviting, and always welcoming. Patrons remember the way he made them feel more than the food they ate (though the food was exceptional, too). He built a business around human connection — and that was his most remarkable recipe.
John was not only a chef. He was also the President of Titanium Entertainment and an entertainment consultant known for helping others bring dreams to life. His success in business was never just about numbers. It was about people. Relationships. Encouragement. Uplifting others with every chance he got.
He brought that same energy to his media appearances, especially his time on Saturday Today in New York, where his joy and creativity reached countless viewers. His cooking segments were a celebration of life, food, and the simple pleasure of sharing both.
But his truest identity was in how he treated people. He gave without question, without hesitation, and without expecting anything in return. His compassion was quiet but powerful. He loved the children in his life with unwavering devotion and was a constant source of encouragement to anyone in need of a boost.
John’s absence will be deeply felt — not only by family and friends but by a wider community touched by his generosity and warmth. And yet, his legacy endures: in the meals he inspired, the businesses he built, and the people he lifted up along the way.
In every act of kindness, in every shared table, in every soul he comforted — John Iachetti lives on.
