John is a native of Oak Harbor and has returned with his wife Kyla to serve his hometown. John is the third generation to call Whidbey Island home. His grandparents, Tom and Vivian Wright were stationed here; his father Johnny Haas worked here in auto body rebuild. John returns after several years working in various ministry and related work in Michigan and Washington. He came into funeral service through working part time for Lemley Funeral Home in Sedro Woolley, and then full-time for Evans Funeral Home in Anacortes.
John tells us, "I find it a privilege to help people through one of the most difficult times in life, the loss of a loved one. I lost my own parents at an early age. I did not handle the grieving process well or understand the value of honoring, memorializing, and gathering, Now I find great fulfilment in helping others with the details that help them grieve and honor their loved ones in the loss. It's gratifying to hear people say that we helped them through a terrible time."
