John Ament of Chalfont, PA died peacefully surrounded by his family’s love, on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, just 3 days before his 96th birthday.

He was predeceased by his wife and high school sweetheart, Betty Jane (Coulton) Ament, who passed away last June. John and Betty Jane were married for 73 years. John is survived by his two children, son: John Ament II (Cindy) and daughter, Lisa Flynn-Tesno, four grandchildren, Gray Montana (Arianna), Bryan Ament, Nicole Reischutz (Jason) and Andrew Flynn (Stefanie). 9 great grandchildren, 1 great-great grandchild and numerous relatives on both sides of his family.

Originally from Danboro, John was the son of Stephen & Mary (Letscher) Ament who also predeceased him. John was one of thirteen children, 5 of whom are still living. John had a successful construction business for over 50 years. Some of his favorite projects include the extensive work he completed on numerous businesses that are located in Peddlers’ Village, including Giggleberry Fair, the Cock n’ Bull and the Golden Plough Inn, as well as a cliffside home he built in Oregon for the renowned architect, Lynn Taylor. His family will always treasure the custom furniture pieces he created over the years, each one a lasting reflection of his talent and craftsmanship.

‘Pop,’ as he was lovingly known by his family, found great joy in cheering on Philadelphia sports teams, listening to country music, playing cards, and spending time with loved ones at family gatherings. His remarkable strength, kind heart, and enduring resilience, qualities he carried with grace until his final breath, will be forever remembered in our hearts.
