John Springob Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Harder Funeral Home - Brookfield on Jan. 5, 2026.
John Norbert Springob
Born to Life on June 2, 1956-Born to Eternal Life on Dec 29, 2025
John was welcomed into the arms of our Lord after a brief illness. He is the son of the late Norbert and Virginia (Olson) Springob and grew up in Menomonee Falls, WI. After graduating from UW-Milwaukee, he enjoyed a long career in commercial real estate and property management.
John is deeply loved and survived by his siblings, brothers in law, many nieces and nephews, extended family and dear friends.
John was very loyal to those he knew well and always quick to offer a helping hand. His humor, open heart, and gentle spirit left a lasting impression. He lived humbly and faithfully, and saw blessings in each day.
He lives on in the well worn phrases we know so well, the many stories retold and the love he shared with the lives he touched. He will be forever missed and always remembered.
A Celebration of John's Life will be held at a later date.

Just seeing his picture brings back so many memories to me. It is great to see his smile in this picture because he was a happy person who smiled all the time. He loved people and was loved back. He will be missed among all of us who loved him.

John will be deeply missed. All the hilarious, classic Springob stories my dad (Tom Springob) has told us over the years almost always include his beloved cousin John. I will never forget the Milwaukee weekend I had with John and my dad in 2009 when I was 15, where we gradually skipped the line to get to our seats for KISS at Summerfest. John went up to random people, acting like he was in disbelief, asking "Is this really the line?!" and we passed hundreds of people within ten minutes. It was one of first times in my life that I realized it´s okay to break the rules once in a while! RIP John, thank you for all the laughs

Love,
Stacey, Jeremy, Edgar and Katherine

I am so sad that our world has lost this great man. He always made me laugh and I always felt loved when we spoke or were together. John was one in a million and he will be deeply missed by so many. Rest in peace John
