John robbed the cradle on November 11, 1989 and married Tammy Zenisek of Eagle and to no surprise they went deer hunting on their honeymoon. John and Tammy had two offspring, Danielle of Lincoln, NE and Brandon of Sturgis, SD.

He was a self taught mechanic and worked for Bruns Construction in Syracuse and Epp trucking in Waverly. He eventually changed careers and became a journeyman electrician and a member of the IBEW Local Union in Lincoln.

He was a lifetime member of the American Trapshooters Association and took great pride in teaching and coaching his kids who excelled at their high school trapshooting meets. He had a passion for all things antique and loved to hunt down and repair antique tractors. John was a member of the Southeast Nebraska Tractor Pullers Association of Syracuse, NE.
