May your "bus ride" to heaven, be as sweet as an OK win! 

Is this the John Reherman I worked with at Friendly Bank? If so he was a hardworker and as good at his job as any employee we had.

This is a great and most profound memorial.  Although it must have been emotionally  very difficult  to create, it will surely remind everyone of a very special person who touched the lives of many, never to be forgotten.  

My very best regards and sincere condolences in a time of grief and remembrance.

To the Reherman Family, 

My sincerest condolences for JR's passing.  I can't wrap my head around the fact that he is gone.  He was such a big part of ADOR's Collections team, his depth of knowledge and experience was unmatched and irreplaceable.  

On a personal note, he was more than a colleague, I considered him a good friend.  I enjoyed talking to him for hours,  I loved his stories of Stillwater, OSU Football, Kingfisher, flying, a horrible motorcycle accident and painful surgeries, Native American culture, tv shows, politics, religion, his trips with Mindy to small Spanish settled towns in New Mexico, Wrecked at the Reef and Roger Cline, back to back Johnny Cash/Rolling Stones concerts in his youth, and most of all the stories of Sam, Kara, and Mindy.   He was so proud when he talked about his three favorite ladies. 

He had a tender heart when it came to his Mom too, that always made me think of him as a good guy.  I could tell it pained him to watch her suffer.  He was a good son.

It's not going to be the same without him.  My heart goes out to all of the Reherman's, I am so sorry for your loss.

I consider myself lucky to have had JR as my colleague.  He will always stand out in my memory as someone who was the most knowledgeable, humble, reliable and kind person.  My entire team  will miss him greatly.  JR loved his wife, daughters and his family.  His eyes always lit up when I asked him about his loved ones.   He was a great co-worker and a great family man.  My kindest wishes to the family.  May you continue to feel his love and presence. May you stay strong and cherish all the good memories...


To Mindy & Family,
I was heartbroken to hear about JR.  During my years at ADOR he was always a generous and kind gentleman.  JR took pride in his accomplishments and he reached out to work together to resolve a problem and achieve a common goal.  He lived his life doing what he loved best and it was evident he cared deeply for his wife and his family.  My condolences to you Mindy and to the family.  

We worked together as boss, employee and peer for many years.Jr loved his family and he was very knowledgeable and supportive as both afriend and boss. Mindy,Sam and Cara JR or John will always be a huge part of your heart and character, just know he was so proud of all of you and he will be missed by many.  God bless you      

Samantha and I were very good friends in junior high. We rode the same bus and would walk together from the stop to Mr. Reherman's job at DOR everyday. I didn't live too far from there. That is how I met him. I will never forget his laugh and high spirited energy. He was an incredible person! Rest well in heaven and know you will be missed immensely. 

Dear Sam and Kara,

We were sorry to hear about your dad's passing.  Both of you are in our thoughts and prayers. We have some fond memories of all of us being together. 

Your old friends,

Steve and Andrea 

Sending thoughts of peace and comfort to Mindy and the Reherman family.  We were all fortunate to work alongside John at ADOR and offer our continued support and care for Mindy as a member of our ADOR family.   Our hearts are with you as you celebrate JR's life - and we celebrate the lifetime of good he did in his many years of dedicated service to the State and people of Arizona.

Growing up in Kingfisher, I knew John nearly my whole life.  Memories of high school and college years abound,  but one sticking out is a post-high school camping/diving trip to Beaver Lake in Arkansas with John (he went by Mark then) Mark Gooden and myself.  This trip included lost keys, driving all day to have a copy made, scaring each other in the middle of the night with an open valve on a scuba tank, and making the "old men" in the dive club think we were crazy for baling out of the boat in the middle of the lake .  We had a topographical map  showing the depth wherever we went.  Oh, and coming up after a dive to find the boat had come loose from its' anchor point and drifted a good half-mile away.

We all laughed hard and well despite (or because of) all the foibles of the trip, cherishing the summer days and making grand plans for the future.   Like many, we know now we didn't cherish those days enough, whether grand plans materialize or not.  While we haven't seen one another nearly enough in the intervening years, we will all miss our friend fiercely.

Farewell, dear friend.  The next adventure awaits.

I am sorry to hear about JR's passing.  I know that the loss of JR will be felt by many. May all the memories  he created and the many contributions he made to DOR be celebrated by all.  Mindy, my prayers are with you and your family  during this difficult time. 

My sincere condolences to Mark's family and other friends.

I knew Mark Reherman from our school days in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, never really knowing his name as John until we were graduating from KHS -- and at least for a few intense discussions continued while we were both attending Oklahoma State University, on the Stillwater campus.   Had managed to catch up a bit more recently (online contacts are useful for that) -- still amazed that he ended up in Arizona, of all places.  Jeesh, northwest Oklahoma wasn't dry enough, dude?

I'll miss having him for future conversations, and will cherish memories of old stories he told (the jackrabbit's ears, OH MY!).  

See you somewhere on the trail, man.  

I was blessed enough to know John since 1996.  We knew each other through a relationship built during our time together at the Arizona Department of Revenue.  John was my friend, my co-worker, my boss, and my mentor. 
John loved to tell stories of growing up in Oklahoma, his younger 'wilder' years, family & his daughters, camping and back country expeditions.  He would talk of retirement often, but I actually got him to 'Pinky Swear' that we would go the long haul at ADOR; at least until he hit his thirty years.  I take comfort that he went doing what he loved best, which was spending time with his wife Mindy in the great outdoors.   I will miss you 'JR'

RIP JR. I will miss your stories of back home and of you growing up.  

Mark and I were sweethearts in Junior High/KHS. He was so sharp and eager to learn new things. 
In our American History class one year, Mr. AJ Johnson wanted us to understand the atrocities of the Nuremberg trials post Nazi Germany. 
Our teacher assigned “sides “ to study the intricacies of what happened as what it was like from both points of view. Mark and his “team” actually  won the case for the Nazi’s. He was just that good in an argument!

I was so very saddened to learn of JRs passing... my heartfelt sympathies go out to Melinda and the rest of John's family. To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. May God comfort and keep you in this time of grief. 

Sincerely,
Shannon Ross

His greatest joy was meeting his grand children and sharing them with Mindy! I have lost a friend, mentor and a big brother! I have known JR for 29 years, was my boss for 23 years! Virtual hugs!
