John Retzloff

     John A. Retzloff went to be with his Savior, Jesus Christ on December 4, 2024. His Loving wife and partner of 53 years was at his side to say goodbye.

     John was born on June 20, 1951, to John H. and Patricia J. Retzloff.
     He became a minister of the gospel in 1986 and was a mighty man of God. He is survived by his wife, Connie Donker Retzloff; his beloved children, Sonja L. (Nick) Beutel of Yuma, AZ and John J. (Randi) Retzloff of Warsaw, IN; six grandchildren, Alexandria (Robert) Carpenter, Gunner Marsh, Santiago Retzloff, Mariano Retzloff, Alessio Retzloff, Elliot Tinsley, and his great grandchild Oliver; his sister, Michelle Dickerson of Howard City, MI, and brother, Anthony (JoAnn) Retzloff of Montpelier, VA.

     John had an awesome sense of humor. He loved to joke with family, especially with his grandkids. He was a man who truly lived by his word and stuck closely to his teachings. John was involved in various ministries, including Men’s Talk and The Round Table.

     A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, December 14, 2024, at 1:00 PM at the Life Changers of Greater St. Matthews Church, 2705 Marquette Blvd, South Bend.
