It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of John Wachman on June 22, 2024, leaving behind cherished memories and a lasting legacy.
John was a loving father to Curtis Sr. and Stacy (Leon) Gutzwiller; devoted partner of Sheree Hovde; brother to Tom; and a doting grandfather to Tyler, Curtis Jr., and Talia.
Son of the late Luverne and Alex, John was a man of admirable qualities. His quick wit, unwavering loyalty as a friend, remarkable artistic skills as a painter, highly skilled woodworking abilities, exceptional green thumb, and passion for collecting will forever be remembered.
John’s presence brightened the lives of those around him, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His memory will be treasured, and his spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
Memorial visitation 4:00 - 7:00 pm Saturday, June 29 at Mueller-Bies Funeral Home (Roseville), 2130 N. Dale St. at County Rd. B.
