John VanHall Obituary
Evansville - John Edward VanHall passed away at Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Newburgh, Indiana, on Saturday, April 11, 2020. He was 68 years old, just two days shy of his 69th birthday. He was born in Grand Haven, Michigan on April 13, 1951 to the late Kenneth and Bernice (Munch) VanHall.
John proudly served in the United States Navy from 1970-1976. He moved to Evansville in 1983, where he worked in the computer industry. John loved traveling back to his home town to see his family, as well as take part in the Annual Coast Guard Festival activities, visit the beach of Lake Michigan and have pizza at the local favorite, The Original Clover Bar. He loved many sports, including golf and volleyball, and coached for the River City Volleyball Club for over 20 years.
He is survived by his children, Brian (Beth) VanHall, Seth VanHall, Leah (Brad) Elliott, Kadie Claridge and Jess VanHall; sisters, Patricia Sokolow and Laurie (Jerry) Miller; brother, Michael (Susan) VanHall; aunt, Ginny Smith-Voelker and many grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, John was preceded in death by two brothers, Kenneth VanHall, Jr. and Dennis VanHall.
John had over 20 years clean and sober. Narcotics Anonymous and working his recovery were a huge part of his existence. He cherished the connections he made through the program and was eager to help anyone and everyone in their efforts to live clean and healthy lives. He will forever be loved and missed by the many people whose lives he touched.
