If there is anyone who I should have notified individually and I have not thought to, please forgive me, I am numb and have not operated off of any organized list.


John was the fortunate recipient of a life saving liver from donor, Doug Nyquist in 2020. He was put on immunosuppressant drugs to help him and his new liver play nicely together.

The beginning of this year John developed cryptococcosis in his lungs. A fungus that in healthy people would not be an event, but in immunocompromised patients, it can be life threatening.

He gave it the good fight and fought to stay with us, but after days of enduring the harsh anti-fungal treatment, and the severity of the disease, developed acute respiratory distress syndrome. He is leaving this world on the same day he was brought in to it, exactly 73 years later.

He leaves behind a heartbroken family who will stand together in grief. I will miss that man who was my everything. He was my superhero who could fix absolutely anything whether it was a screwed up lawnmower, a plumbing issue, a snake on the porch or a splinter in my finger.

There will be a hole so big in my heart. It will take time, but to honor him, I will become a survivor. My life will never be the same without him. The love of my life. 💔
