John Wagner

Sorry to have been out of touch for a while, actually a long while. But John was a good man. And a good friend. And in reaching out now defined him. I learned a really important lesson: I need to stay in touch better with people who matter. Love is all that matters. Michael Krival

I met John through the Michigan High School Mock Trial tournament as a fellow coach. I could tell what a special relationship he had with his students. My deepest condolences to all of you.

Mr. Wagner (as we knew him) taught me various math and English courses at Ida High school from 1987-1990. He was an inspiration to us all and his classes were very much looked forward to. He was the classic "cool teacher" a mixture of wit, laughs and firm structure within his classroom. Condolences to his wife & family. There are a large number of his students who will always include Mr. Wagner in conversations about our youth and the great memories we have at Ida High School. God Bless you Mr. Wagner

I am shocked to learn of John´s passing. Such a great person to know. I met John at the Saturday morning meeting at St. Joe´s Hospital in Saline. He was a faithful member and helped many men in the program. I considered him my friend.
