He is preceded in death by his parents. A funeral mass is planned for 1:30pm on February 2, 2023, at Shepherd of the Valley Catholic Church in Central Point, Oregon, followed by military honors and interment at Eagle Point National Cemetery and reception at Eagle Point Golf Course. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the Asante Hospice team that provided outstanding care to John and his family during his quick but intense battle with cancer over the past two months. In place of flowers, please consider donating to Shepherd of the Valley Catholic Church (600 Beebe Road, Central Point, OR 97502) to help 70 young adults attend World Youth Days with the Pope in Lisbon Portugal in August. John was very supportive of this experience and wanted to assure as many youths as possible are able to attend.
