John Wierenga, 82, of Tarpon Springs, FL, passed away suddenly on Saturday, September 6th, 2025.

‘Just John’ was the true definition of the term ‘renaissance man’.  Starting as a young boy, he grew a paper delivery business.  From there he joined the Navy.  Throughout the years, he became a professional bowler, owner of an extermination company, and for the longest time he was an antique dealer.  BUT, by far, his favorite job was when he was a car salesman.  This is where he would sell a little sports car to a cute blonde, that would become the love of his life.

He is survived by his sister, Sharon (Jerry) IN; his brother, Dave (Diane) IN; his daughter, Kipp (Brook) IN; his stepdaughter, Stephanie (Dave) FL; his stepson, Steve (Dawn) MS; two sons (FL) & (MI); and last but not least, HIS GIRLS, Mya and Tiana.

John was preceded in death by his wife, Kathy; his baby sister, Becky; one son, Dominick; and one stepson, Randy.

Celebration of Life events will be planned in the near future in both Florida and Indiana.
