John was born on April 8, 1955, to John C. and Rose Mary C. (Bourg) Langdon in Hastings, NE. John graduated from Hastings High School with the class of 1973. On August 14, 1976, he married Hope Schlueter in Byron, NE. They were blessed with two children: Melinda and Lisa.

During his lifetime he worked for Built Rite and Carmichael’s Construction. Most recently he retired from the Hastings Street Department after working there for over 28 years. You might have also seen him working at the South Gas N’ Shop where he enjoyed talking to all of the customers as they stopped by.

John was preceded in death by his parents; father-in-law, Marvin Schlueter; and brother-in-law, Jim Rempe.
