HUTTENLOCHER, John; age 58; passed away January 1, 2022. Born in Pontiac, Michigan, John was joyfully welcomed into the Huttenlocher family by parents Richard and Mary Beth. He grew up in Clarkston, attending Clarkston Elementary, Clarkston Junior High, and Clarkston High School. Friendly and social by nature, John worked in a variety of people-oriented jobs throughout his life, most recently in real estate. Always willing to lend a hand or strike up a conversation, John leaves behind a network of family and friends who will miss him dearly. He is survived by his parents Richard and Mary Beth, brother David (Kim), sister Beth (Mark) Kirchner, nephew Michael Kirchner, nieces Kate and Sarah Huttenlocher and Claire Kirchner, Aunt Judy (the late Jim) Huttenlocher, and many cousins. John is also survived by members of his birth family, whom he had come to know in the last few years. He will be especially missed by his Aunt Patty. He recently had the opportunity to visit with her and other family members at their home in Texas and enjoyed sharing photos from his trip with all his Michigan friends and family. John was recently awarded the 25-year coin from Alcoholics Anonymous, an accomplishment that meant a great deal to him. Because John loved animals (and was a devoted “dad” to his beloved dog Abbey), the family asks that those who wish to remember him, donate to their favorite animal charity. There will be a Celebration of Life on Friday, May 13, 2022 at 11 am at the Clarkston United Methodist Church. Please leave a memory or condolence on his online guestbook below.

I was saddened to see the passing of John Huttenlocher - I trust that he might have been a grandson or great nephew to Mr. Huttenlocher who partnered with my grandfather, Ralph Norvell, at Huttenlocher, Kerns, Norvell insurance company. My siblings and I knew the Huttenlocher name well for so many years. I'm Lynn Norvell Eastergard, granddaughter to Ralph. My siblings are Steve Norvell, Eric Norvell and Julie Norvell Wilson. We reside in Greenville, SC.
I just wanted to send...

I have so many fond memories of you, Johnny H, during our days at CJHS. Not the least of which was when you gave me my nickname. Until we meet again, my friend.

John was the first person I met at OPC, in March 2021. He was so kind and funny. He knew everyone and everyone who knew him loved him and his many stories. We shared a lot of conversation and stories in the short time I knew him. He left this world far too early. Rest in peace my friend! Love and peace to his family.❤

Remembering much laughter and shenanigans when you came to our house for sleepovers, bike riding, walkie talkies and recording shows with my brother Todd on cassette tapes!! You two read my diary while I was down the street spending the night at your cousin Sue’s!!! You did not cover your tracks on that one! I pray for peace and comfort for your family and all who loved you!
