Edward H. Janzen

Ed Janzen was a true Eagle! His love for Immanuel was very evident. He was a great encourager and supporter of the staff and students.
My sympathy to Marilyn and family.

We are blessed to have met Ed Janzen when three of our children attended Immanuel High School. Men like Ed are far and few these days. What a wonderful role-model and mentor not only to the IHS students, but to their folks as well. He led a life well-lived. Thank you so very much Ed!

I knew Ed first as a walking companion in the Lakes community where we both took daily walks. We had a lot of common interest in the CVC Imannuel games. He was a true christian man who showed the love of Christ the way he lived and the concern he had for others. My prayer is for Marilyn to find comfort and peace in her Lord and Savior

I was a student at Immanuel when Mr. Janzen was superintendent. One of my best memories was when he took the 4 of us co-valedictorian/salutatorians out for lunch at the Bear Club. We had an amazing time of fellowship and sharing. His love for students, Immanuel, and the Lord was evident, and I am blessed to have known him.
He truly was a servant of the Lord.

I wonder if anyone loved Immanuel more than Ed Janzen. My sympathy to Marilyn and the rest of the family. What a wonderful, generous, and fun-loving man!!!

I am one of blessed who worked with Ed Janzen since 1991. He was a wonderful mentor who delighted in sharing his love for Jesus and others. He had a positive encourgaging attitude which was so appreciated by staff and friends.
My love to Marilyn and family

We were very saddened o learn of Ed's passing. How well we remember when he first arrived in Orosi to begin his teaching career there. He possessed a dry sense of humor and he was loved and admired by his former students and colleagues. We extend our deepest sympathy to Marilyn and their family.

Ed was a true mentor and a great friend. He exemplified a Christ-like model in his leadership style:
=He made every person (including his students) feel that they were a valued and important part of the team.
=He corrected (when necessary) with love.
=He motivated with kind, encouraging, and uplifting words.
=He worked tirelessly.....always serving others before himself.

It is comforting for us to know that Ed has already heard these words: "Very well done, my good and...

My heart goes out to Marilyn and family. While I didn't know Ed as well as Marilyn, I knew him to be a dedicated Christian, husband, father, and educator. The southern San Joaquin Valley is a better place because of all he gave. My prayer is that you will all know the loving comfort of resting gently in the hands of our Lord and Savior.
