Born July 7, 1957 in Joliet, John William was a son of the late John William, Sr., and Edna (Wren) Manegold. He was raised and educated in Braidwood, and will be remembered as a 'Jack of all trades'. John was a member of the South Wilmington Fireman's Club; loved fishing and wrestling, and took great pleasure in spending time with friends.

Survivors include his wife Kimberly (nee Koenig), whom he married May 20, 1978 in the Coal City United Methodist Church; one son Dave (Dayna) Manegold of Braidwood; one brother Marvin (Marcia) Manegold of Gardner; one sister Barbara (the late Gill) Billings of Jacksonville, Florida, and several nieces and cousins, as well as his best friend Lenny Morin of Diamond.

John was preceded in death by his parents; two sisters: Elizabeth Ann and Debbie and two nephews: Joseph and Walter.

Green flameless cremation rites have been accorded, and a memorial celebration of John's life is being planned for a later date.

Preferred memorials may be made as gifts in John's memory to his family for their distribution.
