John W Lehmkuhle

Bill was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 42 years, Adelaide “Lady” Lehmkuhle, who passed just one day earlier on October 23, 2025 — a testament to their enduring love.

He was also preceded in death by his parents, Violet Ruth (Edwin) Vincent and John Percy (Mary Lou) Lehmkuhle; his sons, John W. Lehmkuhle Jr., Timothy E. Lehmkuhle, and his firstborn infant son, lovingly remembered as Little Boy Lehmkuhle; and his grandson, Andrew “Drew” Scott Kenna (Shannon).

He is survived by his daughter, Angela M. Lehmkuhle; and his stepchildren, Delores Vance, Carla Molina, Patti Lawrence, Lisa (Scott) Kenna, and JR (Kim) Lawrence.

Bill (PaPa) will be dearly missed by his many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews — all of whom he treasured.

He is also survived by his siblings: LaDonna (Donald) Scantlen, Paul Lehmkuhle, Sr., Carmen Brown, Vicki (Jerry) Snyder, John W. Lehmkuhle, Chuck (Jane) Lehmkuhle, Ann Bloom, Dan (Cheryl) Lehmkuhle, and Joe (Margie) Lehmkuhle.

Bill will be remembered for his deep love of family, his steady and caring nature, and the kindness he extended to everyone around him.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, November 3, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. at Wells Memorial, 1903 West Reynolds Street, Plant City, Florida 33563.
