John Jesse Buschman was born December 10, 1965, in Spearman to George and Corinne Cade Buschman. He attended Canadian Schools. John married Shirl Swart on December 12, 2011. He had a bit of advice for men, “Marry the love of your life within a couple of days of your birthday and you won’t forget either one!” He was a diesel mechanic with Caleb Farrar at Canadian Tractor and Equipment until his health forced his retirement. John loved the Lord, and his life was forever changed after he attended and worked on Emmaus Walks and a Men’s Kiros team. He loved his Church, The River Ministries and his church family. John was a loving devoted family man to his wife, kids, grandkids and extended family. A scripture that fit John is Colossians 3:23, Whatever you do, do it enthusiastically, as something done for the Lord and not for men.

John was preceded in death by his parents, George and Corinne Buschman.
