CASTLETON

On March 1, 2018, John Andrew Vehslage began his new journey in eternal life. Each of us know in our hearts that John fought the good fight and prepared himself and his family for his new journey.

John was born in Paducah, Kentucky on February 9, 1964, the son of Carmen Smallwood Vehslage and Paul E. Vehslage.

Growing up in Seymour, Indiana, John challenged himself while striving to live life to the fullest. He was actively involved in sports at Seymour High School, excelling in basketball and was an active member of the Boy’s Club.

John continued his education at Indiana University, Bloomington, obtaining a bachelor degree in Business and was also a member of ACACIA Fraternity.

On May 19, 2000 he married the love of his life, Shari Tressler, in Ochos Rios, Jamaica. Soon after, in 2002, John and Shari became the proud parents of Carmen Jayd Vehslage.

John’s thoughtful smile and engaging presence will be dearly missed by his siblings, Paul Vehslage, Susan (Russ) Terkhorn, David (Debbie) Vehslage and Philip (James Mease) Vehslage in addition to in-laws and friends who he considered family.

John is also survived by many nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews and cousins.

John, Shari and Carmen encourage each of you to celebrate a life well lived, to love each other, and to smile as we all continue on our path.

We love you to the Moon and back.
