It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of John "Hans" Thummel, II on October 28, 2025. Born on February 26, 1991, John lived a life characterized by wit, intelligence, soulfulness, and a generous spirit.

John, fondly known as Hans, was the beloved son of Jana  Leys and Randy Thummel who survives him. He was a beacon of love, kindness, and charity to those who knew him. His big smile, laughter and his clever, incisive wit lit up the room and brought joy to those around him.

Hans was a "Maker" in every sense of the word. He possessed an array of technical skills that he was always willing to share, thereby enriching the lives of those around him. His knack for solving complex problems blended with his compassionate spirit created a compelling legacy that will live on.

John's love extended beyond his immediate circle, reaching out to those in need halfway across the world. A testament to his selfless nature, funds are being raised for "Sierra Leone Relief".

No words can aptly describe the void left by John's passing. His values, teachings, and unfailing warmth will be missed greatly. As we navigate this loss, we remember him not only for who he was but also for the remarkable legacy he leaves behind.
