John spent almost 50 yrs in Christian ministry, 41 of those in Youth With A Mission (YWAM). He traveled to almost every continent, boldly & joyously sharing his beloved Savior with everyone he met while serving, praying for, and mentoring many in the faith. John cared little for earthly possessions, but was a friend to everyone, always ready with a smile, a hug, & a kind word. His legacy is the multitude of those around the world who have been encouraged & inspired by his life & are living for Christ because of him. John has passed into glory, leaving us heartbroken but also rejoicing that he is now with the Savior he loved so much and served so completely. We truly celebrate a life well lived.
Predeceased by parents, Robert & Phyllis.
Survived by siblings Irene, Gary (Judi), Marie (Don) Kudrle, Tom (Theresa); many nieces, nephews, other relatives, & friends.

I just can't say enough about the help we received in planning my husband's funeral at the Osseo Evans Nordby funeral home. It was a very difficult time and they were so caring, sensitive, helpful and very organized in making the funeral go smoothly. The funeral home in Osseo felt so welcoming and comfortable also. Tina was extremely helpful in guiding our family with planning the funeral and went out of her way in finding the right memorial folder for my husband. I would highly recommend them. Thank you all.
