John Williams Hasler

age 82, of Butternut, passed away on January 14, 2026, at Marshfield Medical Center-Weston.

John was born on October 5, 1943, in New York, the son of Wyndham Sr. and Cornelia Hasler. He served his country in the United States Navy.

He was united in marriage to Faith Kelley on September 4, 1987. The couple later made their home in the Butternut area, where John lived for approximately 30 years.

John earned a bachelor's degree and began his career in banking following college. He later became the owner and operator of Wildlife Art Stone, a business that reflected both his entrepreneurial spirit and appreciation for craftsmanship.

An athletic and active man, John enjoyed playing hockey in his younger years and spent much of his free time golfing, fishing, playing tennis, and bird hunting. He was known for his great sense of humor, strong work ethic, and service to others, including his time as an EMT.

John is survived by his wife, Faith Hasler; his two children, Ned Hasler and J.P. Hasler; his stepson, Stratford; and three grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother, Wyndham Jr. (Pam) Hasler, along with many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Private services will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given according to the family's wishes.

Birch Street Funeral Service is assisting the family.
