John Edward Pfanenstiel

John Edward Pfanenstiel, 53, was a loving husband, father, son, brother and friend to many. John was born on Tuesday, December 15, 1970, and passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on Tuesday, November 12, 2024. John loved to be outside, he loved fishing and playing golf. However, you would probably find him mowing his 10 acres on his Bad Boy mower on most weekends. He loved the Dallas Cowboys and was a huge Emmitt Smith fan and collected his football cards. He was very proud of his massive card collection. He also loved KU basketball. John was the most hard-working man. He was a licensed Electrician that followed generations of electricians in his family. John started being an Electrician when he was in his 20’s and his dad and uncles taught him the trade. He passed on his knowledge to multiple others throughout his career and lastly, teaching the trade to his son, Bryce. John might have been known to many as John the Electrician, but to his family, John Boy was so much more. He was a husband, the most loving husband who put his wife first. He loved being a father the most and was very proud of his two boys. Being a brother was very special to him and would do anything for his little sister. For his parents, John Boy was the pillar of strength, and they were very proud of the man he became. He was our protector. John would walk into a room and the room would brighten and people wanted to be around him. So many people say he gave the best hugs. John is preceded in death by his brother, David Allen Pfanenstiel. Survived by his Wife, Linda Diana Pfanenstiel; sons, Wesley Pfanenstiel, Bryce Pfanenstiel; parents, John Herman and Mary Ann Pfanenstiel; sister and brother-in-law, Jennifer and Jeff Cammarn; nieces, Tristan Pfanenstiel, Ally Becker; nephew, Ben Cammarn; and great-nephew, Braylen Becker; and many other family and friends.
