John Renz Obituary
He was born December 30, 1959, in Oak Park, Ill., to Raymond and Patricia Renz.
Uncle John was a man who was loved by his adopted family. He loved kids and his turtle, Seymour. His room was his sanctuary, preferring to stay there. He could be lured out to socialize with a bribe of his favorite treat, Twinkies. John loved to eat and there is a 99.9% chance the H in his middle was not Henry but he was John Hungry.
He is survived by his friend and adopted family member, Tanya Farley and her family; children Conner Renze, and Kennedy Renz.
Cremation will take place. Lakeview Funeral Home and Crematory, 247 W. Johnson Rd., La Porte, (219) 362-3100 is caring for the arrangements.
Please send condolences to the family at www.LakeviewFHC.com.
