Whether through his dedication to his work, his devotion to family, or his unwavering loyalty to friends, John lived with authenticity and purpose.
John’s life was marked by a deep commitment to those he loved. He was a supportive son, a devoted husband, a proud father, and a caring friend. He had an incredible ability to make people feel seen and valued, always ready with a listening ear, a helping hand, or a word of encouragement.

He believed in the importance of giving back and was often involved in local projects and causes that mattered to him. Friends and colleagues alike admired his integrity, his leadership, and his compassion.
Outside of his professional life, John cherished time with his loved ones most. Family gatherings, holiday traditions, and spontaneous outings were moments he treasured dearly. He especially enjoyed spending weekends outdoors, whether fishing, barbecuing, or simply relaxing in the company of family and friends. Those closest to him recall his love of storytelling—always weaving humor, wisdom, and heart into every tale.
John’s legacy is one of love, kindness, and resilience. He leaves behind cherished memories that will continue to live in the hearts of those who knew him.

He is survived by his loving family, who will carry forward his spirit and honor his memory with the same grace and strength that he embodied. Though he has departed this world too soon, his influence will remain ever-present in the lives of those who loved him.
A memorial service will be held in Omaha to celebrate John’s life, where family and friends will gather to honor his memory, share stories, and find comfort in one another.
