John NIGGEMEYER Obituary
NIGGEMEYER,
John Francis
Passed away on May 19, 2017. Beloved brother, uncle and friend, John was born on May 8, 1959 in San Jose, California. John was a shining light and a wonderfully charismatic gentleman who charmed and uplifted so many people who were lucky enough to get to know him. He was incredibly smart, talented, kind, and generous with his renaissance spirit and his very playful sense of humor. Our loss is Heaven's gain - welcoming John's beautiful energy to join our dear siblings Teresa and Tim and our wonderful parents, Bill and Joan. John is survived by seven brothers and sisters: Mike (Joan), Daniel (Carolyn), Katy, Stephe, Anne (Larry), Bunny (Pat), and Patrick (Sophia); and 16 nieces and nephews: Tess, Alycia, Sean, Ben, Kevin, Jordan, Jacob, Nic, Phinnian, Riley, Lachlan, Alexa, Michael, Alexis, Jasmyn, and Samantha. A memorial service for John will be at a later date. Please visit john-francis-niggemeyer.forevermissed.com to share special memories of John. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to organizations committed to social justice, the appreciation of fine music, and the enhancement of nature - all passions of John's.

When I came to G-Prep my sophomore year, John was the first guy to walk up, shake my hand and introduce me around. He was always a solid friend and I'll remember him in my prayers.
