John graduated from De Pere High School, where he played baseball and football. He was proud to say he played for Dad Brasier, and was offered a chance to play baseball professionally.
John served his country in the Korean War, and to this day remains close friends with several of his comrades.
Upon his honorable discharge, John went on to study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he graduated with degrees in business and banking.
Business was a passion of John's, and he had many business adventures over the years. He was dedicated to his church and community, and he was generous with local charities.
John enjoyed traveling, sports, playing cards with the Manders and Dollar families, gardening and his vineyard.
Above all, John loved Jesus, his family and spending time with friends.
He is survived by his wife, Mary; Troy (Paula) Verheyen, Kevin (Tammy) Verheyen; grandchildren, nieces, nephews and many friends.

Our dearest John, thank you for making our community an even more special place to live.
"A community isn't buildings, factories, shops and streets. It's people… and what they're doing for and with each other. This is the strength and limitless potential of the American community."
