In loving memory of a wonderful person.  John was such a great guy, full of warmth and laughter.  My thoughts and sympathies go out to those closest to him.

Dragi Mila i Predraze,

molim vas da primite nase saucesce u tuzi za  Jovanom.

Marija i Gradimir Vuckovic

To all who loved John,

Every single one of us were blessed to feel the warm smile and ever positive out look of Big Z. The words expressed at the visitation echoed that he was an incredible man, in all ways of life. He lived life fearlessly, laughed feverishly and loved fiercely. 

My high school years are filled with memories of John making everyone around him laugh and smile. It was not surprising to hear this replayed by everyone's stories at the visitation.

I will miss you John!

May peace come to those that grieve.

We remember John fondly.  He was a wonderful guy and always quick to share a laugh or a smile.  May your memories of him comfort you at this difficult time.  Our thoughts are with you.
-Karyn & Rusty Bass Ehler

Dear Mila, Predrag and Ivana,
My family and I are very sorry for your loss. I did not have the opportunity to meet John but I know through you what a cherished part of your family he is and will always be. Our hearts go out to you. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Bog da mu dusu oprosti.

JZ, your positive attitude and unfailing good humor have redefined the meaning of the word courage for me.  I have been blessed to know you, and I will miss you.

We've spent time with John and Stephanie only twice - during graduation festivities in Chicago in June 2009 and during our son's wedding celebration in California in August 2010 - but John's smile, personality, and sense of humor make him a truly memorable young man.  He is a dear friend to our son and his wife.  Your family and all of John's friends are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mr. and Dr. Zelenkovich and Ivana, 
I am so, so sorry and saddened by the passing of John.   I only had the opportunity to meet John a couple times but i know through Ivana what a cherished part of your family he is and will always be. Wishing you strength and understanding during this time. May peace find you soon.

Gone too soon...may God bless you and your family...

JZ -- You will be missed dearly by so many family members and friends, but your impact on our lives will never be forgotten.  I am proud to have known you as a friend and I am a better man for having spent time with you.  Thank you for everything.

John was an exceptional young man that we learned to love as our own son in a very short time. We can easily appreciate why our daughter Stephanie chose John to be her husband considering his wit, easy manner, and his perpetually positive outlook on life. John we will miss you dearly but know you will always be with us.

We send our condolences to the family of Mr.Zelenkovich.May the God of all comfort be with you in the days ahead. He will be a stronghold for you to help you go on.

John was a good boy who grew into a good man.  Everybody who met him could not help but love him.  I am thinking of all the good times we shared, cousin.  You will be missed.

JZ, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  You will be missed.

I met John when he was a Summer Associate at Merrill.  I ended up hiring him to work with me.  He was a joy to work with, and became a great friend.  He will be sorely missed.

I will miss my friend a lot. We did a good biking ride a couple of years ago and wanted to do more after that. He was always very positive and inspiring.
My heart is with you in these difficult times.

Hi JZ,

I imagine you are reading this and are one) laughing at me two) asking me, again, how I got Danielle to marry me and three) have some wonky options trade you want to pitch me...you loved options.

You are, not were, an amazing individual. Always smiling, always thinking of others and always full of energy. The impact you made on my life from when we first spoke in 2007, throughout my time at Chicago and over the last few years will forever stay with me.

Thank you for everything you have done. I apologize for not having said this sooner. You will be missed, but I promise to find a way to honor you.

With love and your friend always,

"taj"
