"John Henkel, 58, of Centennial, Colorado, Naperville, Illinois and Tucson, Arizona, born March 10, 1962 and at rest October 24, 2020, in his family home. Beloved son of John and Joanna Henkel; loving husband of Stephanie and devoted father of Hannah, John and Holly; cherished brother of David (fiancé Vicki); favorite uncle to Charlie, Kelsey, Harry, Nicholas, Christopher, Sofie, Haley, and Angie; son-in-law of Thomas and Judeen Schedler; brother-in-law of Shawn and Ann Heming and Scott and Dee Ann Schedler; cousin of Lisa (Tony), Julie (Stuart), and Mike (Christy); nephew of Al (Lucy) and the late Betty; professional ball thrower to Lucy the lab; and friend to all who were lucky enough to know him.

A born entrepreneur, John thrived in college, profiting off charging fraternity party entrance fees. Upon graduating, John launched his business career for real, starting up a property management company with a few friends. He eventually tired of the desert and sold his portion of the company before moving to the Windy City. There, John began working as a trader on the Chicago Board of Options Exchange. One fateful night out, John met the love of his life, Stephanie at a local Chicago bar, Kelsey’s. After refusing a good night kiss, Stephanie eventually agreed to let John pursue her. The pair began their life together and were married in 1993 at St. Petronille in Glen Ellyn, Illinois." Click here to view the full obituary.
