John Joseph Wisneski

At 4:29pm on Wednesday March 1, 2017, John Joseph Wisneski breathed his last breath on this earth. He now rests in heaven with the Lord. John was born on Christmas Eve to Mike and Linda Wisneski. John was the second born son and contrary to his older brother Dylan, John liked to sleep. As John grew he looked up to his older brother and loved playing with him. Soon John became a big brother, too, when Kimberly was born and later again when Frank was born. John would soothe Kimberly by putting his finger in her mouth to suck on and pat her little head. He was entranced with her. He loved Frank and became a great buddy to him. Oh the adventures those two had! Whatever Dylan did John wanted to do as well. When Dylan began riding a dirt bike, John had to as well. That was the beginning of Wisneski Racing. John loved his motorcycling days. While he enjoyed motocross he really excelled at flat track. Being a football enthusiast in a home where the Chicago Bears ruled, he naturally became a Green Bay Packers fan. Anyone who knew John knew he was a Packers fan! He had the trip of a lifetime when he toured Lambeau Field in the summer of 2015. John also loved the outdoors whether he was playing golf, tossing the football around, mowing lawns, or even shoveling snow. Life on his tractor was good. He was involved with the Pinewood Springs Fire Protection District for many years and truly enjoyed keeping the station and trucks clean. John also had a natural affinity for animals. There was never a dog or cat that he ever encountered that didn’t love him. He greatly enjoyed his job at the Estes Park Pet Lodge and loved all the dogs he came to know. Most of all John was always acutely aware of what others might need or want and did his best to fill that. A memorial service to celebrate his life will be held on Saturday, March 11 at 11am at the Presbyterian Community Church of the Rockies. There will be a reception following the service. In lieu of flowers John would be so pleased if you gave a donation to the Children’s Tumor Foundation or the Estes Park Pet Association. Donations in care of Allnutt Funeral Service 1302 Graves Ave. Estes Park, CO 80517. John leaves behind his parents, Mike and Linda, brothers Dylan and Frank, and sister Kimberly. He also leaves behind his grandmother Sheila Wisneski (Marseilles, IL), aunt Vickie and uncle Mike Harney (Ottawa, IL) uncles Frank Wisneski (Marseilles, IL) and Dan Wisneski (Ottawa, IL), cousins Marie Wisneski, Shannon and Erin Harney, D. J., Kaed, and William Wisneski, niece Bella Wisneski who shares his birthday, his dogs Kaylee and Dewey, as well as numerous friends both human and pet. Most of all he leaves a huge hole in the life of his family. John was preceded in death by his uncle Richard Wisneski, grandfather John Barker, grandfather Frank Wisneski, grandmother Jeanne Schultz, and great-aunt Deanne Donnelly.
