John Tegtmeier Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Oasis Cremation & Funeral Care on Aug. 23, 2024.
John Martin Tegtmeier, 68, of Tucson, AZ, passed away peacefully on August 7th, 2024. Born on July 19th, 1956, in Prospect Heights, IL, John was the beloved son of the late Patricia and Herman Tegtmeier.
John began his lifelong career as a tool and mold maker in 1972. His dedication and skill in his craft were well known and respected in his field. In the early 1980s, John made the move to Tucson, AZ where he found his true home and never left, enjoying the beauty and warmth of the Southwest.
John is survived by his loving daughter, Bonnie Jean Ryan (Richard Dale Ryan), and his cherished grandchildren, Olivia Lee Stegall and Caleb Martin Stegall. He is also survived by his dear sister, Catherine Jennings (William Jennings) of Albuquerque, NM.
A man of quiet strength, John will be remembered for his hard work, his love for his family, and his unwavering loyalty to those he held dear. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
