John was a proud veteran who honorably served his country in the U.S. Army and fought in the Vietnam War. His dedication and bravery were hallmarks of his life, and he carried these qualities with him long after his military service.
Above all, John was a devoted father and grandfather. He is survived by his four children: Vicki (Wayne) Koper, Brian (Victoria) Gerwig, Amanda (Jeremy) Broman, and Christopher, along with his cherished grandchildren, Gretchen and Will. His family was his greatest joy, and he treasured every moment spent with them.
John also found great happiness on the golf course. Whether perfecting his swing or enjoying a friendly round with friends, golf brought him both challenge and peace.
He will be remembered for his warmth, quiet strength, and the steadfast love he showed to his family and friends. His legacy of honor, laughter, and loyalty lives on in all who knew and loved him.
A private service will be held to celebrate John’s life at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that acts of kindness be done in his memory, or that donations be made to a veterans’ organization of your choice.
