John Borchardt Obituary
John was born on February 25, 1949, in Detroit, MI to the late Walter Maximilian Borchardt and Ethel (Chapman) Borchardt. He faithfully and honorably served his country in the United States Army for many years before retiring and starting his own Hobby Shop Business. John's passions were photography and Indy Car racing. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Along with his parents, John is preceded in death by his sister, Julia Wheaton.
Left to cherish his memory is his nephew: Mark Wheaton (Violet) and Randy Wheaton; brother-in-law: Michael Wheaton; and his sister: Susan Ronca (Gene).
With honor, Burpee-Scott Memorial Chapel & Crematory has been entrusted with arrangements.
