John Jepsen Zellinger


My deepest condolences to Aunt Dee and Uncle Gary, cousin Amy, and to Stacy and her entire family. John was my dear cousin. While our memories were somewhat limited by time and distance, I will always look back fondly on the times we hunted, fished, and laughed together. The world and this family has lost a great guy and a smile that could light up any field, lake, or room. I will miss him dearly. I'm sure Grandma Jepsen has already given him a good thump on the shoulder after he and Grandpa Jepsen returned late from a fishing trip.

To Stacy, the Zellinger and Keninger families, Was sorry to hear of the sudden passing of John. I have been friends with Tim K for about 30 years and have heard talk fondly of John over the years. I had the chance to go with Tim to the lake house one summer and spend a weekend with Stacy and John and very much enjoyed their hospitality. My prayers are with Stacy and both families during this difficult time.

Our deepest to Stacy and her family. TIM, Jordyn, Jessica, and I have so many great memories. We had so much fun spending time with you and shelly and Randy’s families. Especially saylorville Lake, Sun Valley, lake, and dog beach. The kids all love Johnny as he was always playing with them. He was a big kid at heart. He was always happy and had so much fun to be around. We all loved him, and he will be greatly missed.
