John D. Gagel

He was one of my elders at my church when I was a teen. I always liked him.

John eaves big shoes to fill, he was a great co-worker. He lead many sustainability projects in Lexmark. He was always a very kind and open person. Sincerely he will be missed.

I really came to know John and Tamara when he helped me to work my way back to reinstatement. He knocked himself out to help me return to Jehovah. I can say that he is one of the best in gifts of men. I love him and his dear wife Tamara and the family. I know he will sleep for just a little while. I can't wait to see him again and give him a big bear hug.

Having lost my Dad at the age of 27, my heart breaks for John's family and friends. The finality and surprise of it all is daunting. Knowing he is reunited with family and in God's hands is true peace. I only met John once at Lexmark in person. I was struck by his demeanor, a truly kind, loving person who had so much compassion for his job and the environment. May he rest in peace.

I am so terribly sorry to hear this awful news. I knew John, on and off over the last 7 years in a professional capacity. I first met him during my time at the Ellen Macarthur Foundation and I instantly warmed to his kind manner, approach, logical mind, and zero-fear of trying to do the right thing by Lexmark, despite how impossible it seemed. We had exchanged personal stories over the years, and the world has lost a great soul at a time where they are in short supply. Rest easy my friend. yours Aye, James.
