John Wehrer Obituary
John dedicated his entire career to sales, providing innovative solutions for the petrochemical industry. Beyond his professional life, he had a deep passion for amateur radio and was an active member of both the Jefferson Amateur Radio Club and the Huntsville Amateur Radio Club, known by his call sign, KA5CSI.
A lifelong car enthusiast, he found joy in owning, working on, and racing cars. He was an active member of the Sports Car Club of America for many years, competing in both drag racing and track racing. His love for motorsports extended to watching NASCAR, a pastime he truly enjoyed.
In addition to his love for cars, he gave his time generously as a volunteer at the Huntsville Botanical Garden. He also had a passion for travel, always seeking new experiences and places to explore.
He will be remembered for his enthusiasm, dedication, and the many lives he touched through his work, hobbies, and volunteer efforts.
