John Nettler Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1955 to Harry and Helen Nettler. John attended Mercy High School before going into the newspaper business.
John was preceded in death by his parents as well as his sister, Helen (nee Nettler) Wiegert, and is survived by his wife, Judy; his three children, Emily (Daniel) Sunderlin, Danny (Brittany) Nettler, and Eric (Teresa) Nettler; as well as nine beautiful grandchildren. Julian, Jameson, Owen, Oliver, Ozzy, Olsen, Orellia, Hendrix and Hazel are proud to be the "J.O.H.N/S". Though he loved coaching his children, umpiring baseball, and music, John's favorite role was that as a grandparent. He treasured his time with his grandkids and loved being their Pop-Pop.
John will always be remembered for his love of storytelling and the way he cared for family and friends. He never failed to make a friend and lend a helping hand. We'll always imagine hearing him say "I have to make one more stop". John was a two-time cancer survivor and even through treatments, he maintained his positive attitude. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.
Florida viewing is Thursday, February 8, 2024 at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.
John will have a second viewing and funeral in St. Louis, Missouri and his final resting place will be Memorial Park Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations to MD Anderson Cancer Center (https://gifts.mdanderson.org) and/or Feeding America (https://give.feedingamerica.org/a/donate) would be greatly appreciated.
Faith Chapel Funeral Home North, 1000 South Highway 29, Cantonment, is entrusted with arrangements. You may express condolences online at www.fcfhs.com.

So sorry to hear of the sudden passing of John. He and his family were dear friends of my family. He and Judy shared a birthday with my oldest child and they would come over and put princess crowns on to have a party with their tiny birthday buddy. John was known for strategically placing himself at the corner of the table on Christmas Eve to guard the shrimp tray. We will always save a spot for you at the table, John.

I have so many fond memories of John and can say that all that was spoken of by his family is the perfect description of the man I knew. His sense of humor, his commitment to his family and friends and the love he had for his grandchildren were evident throughout his life. I will miss him, and there will be a tribute to him in my home on Christmas Eve as we celebrate with shrimp. May he rest in peace.

We met John and Judy through the Blauser, and although we didn´t see them often, it was always great to spend time with then. He was a great personality and will be missed. Rest in peace John.

I am so sorry to hear of John´s sudden passing. John and Judy have been close friends of my family for many years, and I have many great memories of the Nettlers coming to our Christmas Eve party every year. For those who may not know, I think John was capable of eating his body weight in shrimp, and could always be found next to the shrimp cocktail platter each year! He was such a friendly, kind, and loving man taken from us too soon, and he will be forever missed.
