John was so loved and so well cared for that he was able to live his best life to the fullest! It was a privilege to watch him grow up surrounded by his loving parents and brother at Pelican Lake. Blessings and comfort to all who loved him and helped him on Life’s journey. Now he will be at peace and surrounded by a Love and Healing beyond all understanding.

I never got the privilege to meet John, but my sister, Robin and her husband, Bill Nagle talked about you and your family, and so that is how I learned about your loving son, John. May you know we are sending prayers for you and your family during this time and for the time too follow. May you know that John is up in heaven now, smiling down on you all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Mike, Mary and Tommy, I am so saddened to hear of Johns passing. I have so many fond memories of time spent with him working at Ben Franklin, going to TNT, making his elephant costume for the adaptive music play of the Jungle Book, his chocolate pudding and high-fiving him at the neighborhood potlucks. He gifted the world with his infectious smile, a humorous personality and a joy for playing jokes on people and all things mechanical. He touched our lives in more ways than you know and left a smile imprinted on our hearts. May you find peace in all the happy memories he left us to remember him by.
Our condolences – Lee and Tracy Gunkelman
