With sadness, the Wallace family share the passing of John "Wally" Wallace, 57, of Gorham, NH, formerly of Kittery, ME and Northborough, MA, who passed away on  March 29, 2026.

Raised in Northborough, John had such a unique fearlessness and physical talent from a young age and throughout his life. He engaged readily and conquered any imaginable challenge, X-Game, motorcycles, and contact sports. John was a graduate of Algonquin Regional High School where he loved playing football and baseball. The Wallace family has great memories of John and his friends, who were always game for backyard sports, pond hockey, or the humorous antics of the day.

John also had an incredible work ethic, becoming a pioneer in the early Biotech industry. He graduated from Minuteman Tech and then operated complex production lines for novel medical products. John put his heart into his work, was determined to get every product just right, and cared deeply about his coworkers. John loved an epic day on the slopes, hikes in the Whites, fishing, boating, and being with his beloved dogs Dakota and Jake. We will all remember him dearly.

John is survived by his Mother Joann (Maverick) Wallace; his Father Jack Wallace and his wife Lynn; Sisters Sue and Kathy Wallace; Brother Jeff Wallace and his wife Cathleen; nieces Caitlin and Madelyn; and nephews Nick, Trev, Joe, and Jack. The Wallace family is grateful to John's many friends and for all the support we received during this sad time.

There are no traditional services planned, but we encourage those who knew John to celebrate him in their own way or consider helping their local animal or homeless shelters. Condolences may be shared online at HaysFuneralHome.com.
