John Alsaker Obituary
John Alsaker, 66, of Chisholm and formerly of Forest Lake, Minn., passed away on Monday, September 8, 2025, with loved ones by his side.
He was born July 8, 1959, to Norman and Almeda (Brown) Alsaker in St. Paul, Minn. John spent a good portion of his life in Forest Lake. In 1998 he married his wife Amy and they spent the last 27 years together. John followed his dream and became a truck driver for the majority of his career for highway construction. In 2002 John and Amy made Chisholm their home and became intertwined with all of the great people in this town in one way or another. John and Amy owned and operated the Moose Saloon for a few years and made a lot of great memories. In 2004 he started The Maine rebuilding starters and alternators in downtown Chisholm right on Lake Street. John spent the last few years buying and selling cars, limos, campers even firetrucks and everything in between. He loved fishing and spending time on Long Lake. John will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
