It is with deep sadness that I have to announce the passing of John Robert Lehman on 22nd May 2020.
Loving father to Jeanette Frazier, loving grandfather to Yumi and Fiora, father in law to Joshua Frazier and loving ex husband to Lily Lehman.
John was the son of Arnold Bill and Gretchen Lehman (nee Lynch). He leaves a sister, Jeannie Arthur and niece, Joetta Arthur.
John was a wonderful man who loved his family and cherished his friends. His close friends were Greg and Jennie Deck (sadly Greg passed last year), Steve Smith and Jim O’Hara, Richard Blandford and his dear friend Becky Burton (nee Gibson), of whom he was Godfather to Becky’s two daughters, Holly and Lily-Beth.
John adored his daughter Jeanette and his grandchildren Yumi and Fiora. He was very proud of them. Although separated from his wife Lily Lehman, he never stopped loving her. She was the love of his life and they remained friends right up until his death.
John wore his heart on his sleeve and was generous with his time and money but he would not suffer fools gladly. He was very protective of all those dear to him.
For those who knew him, you were truly blessed. John will be very much missed by all who loved him but his spirit will live on in all of us. Through the memories we all have of him, he will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace.
A private visitation and Service will be conducted at Jenkins Funeral Home in Bloomfield. Interment will follow in Prairie Chapel Cemetery in rural Lyons.
