John spent almost 50 yrs in Christian ministry, 41 of those in Youth With A Mission (YWAM). He traveled to almost every continent, boldly & joyously sharing his beloved Savior with everyone he met while serving, praying for, and mentoring many in the faith. John cared little for earthly possessions, but was a friend to everyone, always ready with a smile, a hug, & a kind word. His legacy is the multitude of those around the world who have been encouraged & inspired by his life & are living for Christ because of him. John has passed into glory, leaving us heartbroken but also rejoicing that he is now with the Savior he loved so much and served so completely. We truly celebrate a life well lived.
Predeceased by parents, Robert & Phyllis.
Survived by siblings Irene, Gary (Judi), Marie (Don) Kudrle, Tom (Theresa); many nieces, nephews, other relatives, & friends.

I highly recommend the team at Evans Nordby. This past weekend, they assisted as we buried my mom. Twelve years ago, they assisted as we buried my dad. Brittney and the staff are so comforting, easy to work with and compassionate. They make every decision simple, and the whole process as painless as possible. I am so happy that we chose this funeral home, and encourage you to consider using them in your time of need.
