John Heinzkill Obituary
John D. Heinzkill, age 26 of Neenah, passed away unexpectedly Thursday, December 6, 2012. He was born May 12, 1986 to Steve and Evette (Thorson) Heinzkill.
John was a very fun loving family man with a special spot in his heart for his son, Jordan. He enjoyed going for walks and long drives in the country with his family, and taking Jordan to arcades. John was a quiet man, but also loved joking around. He was funny and playful and liked to have a good time. He loved hunting, fishing, and will be remembered as a perfectionist that never gave up on any endeavor.
John will be sadly missed by his fiancée and partner of nine years, Jordania Escamilla; their son, Jordan; his parents: Steve Heinzkill and Evette Heinzkill; his sister, Stephanie (David) Leisure; paternal grandfather, Robert Heinzkill; maternal grandparents: Jerome and Betty Thorson; Jordania's parents: Julie Luedke and Chuck Escamilla; and many other family members and friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandmothers: Pauline Thorson, Nancy Heinzkill, and Lillian Hawkins; his uncle, Barry Thorson; and Jordania's grandmother, Clara Luedke.
A memorial service for John will be held at 6:00 P.M. Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at St. Thomas Church, Menasha, Fr. Ralph Osborne officiating. Visitors may call at church from 5:00 P.M. until the hour of service.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established to support his son, Jordan and his future.

In memory of your birthday today. You are still in my heart everyday and we (family) miss you very much.
Instead of feeling sad and hopeless-I can remember "Our ways are not God's ways" and I am happy we had the years and good times we had. I don't think love is ever ending and I am greatful for the memories I have had- along with the memories of others who were close to him. He was a good person, I wish was still here but I know nothing in this world is permanent and unchanging and we all we die also so it's best to make the most of it till we do. I look forward to seeing him on the other side of living in this world.
I just hope to make life here better by putting my hope in the good things and way of living a good life with God's help to get through. Because I can't go back in time and do things differently to bring him back.
Love you always, John-and like you used to say "Amen". (After talking a lot and hoping it had meaning) :)

Evette,
No words can comfort a mother at this time. Heaven is beautiful, death is not, find your strength in Jesus, he need John in heaven by him now we just are here for a short time to love we are on borrowed time we are just a gift from GOD given and taken at a moments notice. John was your gift to enjoy while here. God missed him and wanted him back. Now it's your job to take care of Jordon for God and John and raise him as well as you did John

Very quiet guy. With loud thoughts. His smile was contagious and he loved his little boy. "His great son". Gorgeous just like his Daddy. I remember talking with him about how he wanted to be around Jordan more when he was a cable installer. He wanted him to know his Daddy loved him. Don't worry John, Aunt Donna and your Mom take good care of your boy. that'll never change. :.( wish bad things never happenned. Ever. RIP, Handsome.
