John W. Renner (Seymour)'s Obituary
John W. Renner, 63, Kansas City, Missouri, passed away Wednesday, August 26, 2015, in his home surrounded by the love of his family and friends. John was born August 22, 1952, in Marshfield, Missouri. He accepted the Lord at the age of 14, and was a member of the College Street Baptist Church in Springfield, Missouri.
John graduated from Parkview High School in 1970, and continued his education at Rolla University (Kappa Alpha fraternity), where he graduated with a Civil Engineering Degree in 1977. During that time he also served two years in the Army National Guard. John was a licensed Land Surveyor and started successful land surveying businesses in Del Ray Beach, Florida, Kihei, Hawaii, and Kansas City, Missouri.
He was united in marriage with Teresa (Teri) Johnson in 1992. In 1996, they were blessed with a son, Eric; and in 1999, blessed with a daughter, Ingrid. As all who knew him would agree, John was an avid fisherman. He enjoyed spending as much time as possible at the lake fishing, boating, and sitting around the campfire with his family and friends. John enjoyed many hobbies during his life, including Motocross, go-cart racing, paint-balling with his son, and we're still looking for the windsurf board he lost in the Atlantic Ocean.
John leaves behind his wife, Teri; his children, Brooke, Eric and Ingrid; his mother, Ilene Brazeal; two sisters, Debra Shavel, and Gayle Hollands and husband, Doug; an aunt, Lorene Dickson; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Joe Bob Brazeal; uncle, George Carter; and grandmother, Zona Carter.
John W. Renner was a loving and devoted husband, father and son, and a loyal and caring brother, friend and comrade. The memories he created and shared with family and friends will be cherished in their hearts forever.
