In Loving Memory of John Nerness

We celebrate the life of John Nerness, a beloved son, brother, and father, who touched the lives of all who knew him.

John was the cherished son of John Lavon Nerness and Shirley Yvonne Nerness. He grew up surrounded by love and laughter alongside his siblings-Curtis, David, and Janelle. The strong bond he shared with his family was a constant source of joy and comfort throughout his life.

John was the proud father of Kari and Lyndon Nerness. He treasured his family and always sought to bring warmth and understanding to those around him. His gentle spirit and warm smile made every gathering brighter, and his thoughtful nature left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

John's kindness extended to all those he encountered. He had an open heart and a listening ear, always ready to offer comfort or a word of encouragement. His sensitivity was his superpower, allowing him to connect with people on a deep and meaningful level.

Though he is no longer with us, John's legacy of love, empathy, and kindness will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. He leaves behind a family who will forever cherish his memory.

Rest peacefully, John. You are dearly loved and will be deeply missed.
