“I cannot do all the good the world needs. But the world needs all the good I can do.”
John Edward Nadiger passed away at home unexpectedly on Friday, April 10. He was born on April 26, 1973, the youngest child of Bill and Connie Nadiger. He grew up and lived the majority of his life in Sturtevant, his beloved hometown. As a kid he could be found riding his bike, hanging out in the lost jungle, in his incredible fort, or helping out at various construction sites. As an adult he learned the siding trade, then branched out into other building projects, and finally settling into his job at Rohner Asphalt and Grading, a job he loved and spent the last 20 years doing. This guy had the ability to fix anything —your car, your house, your yard and offered to do so, and offered to do so before even having to ask. John was the most giving person one could know. He made friends easy and he made them everywhere. He had a way of drawing people out of themselves and loved meeting, talking and laughing with people. If you were in need, he was just a phone call away. There was rarely a day he wasn’t doing something for someone somehow. His world was large and included so many people. John loved spending time with people talking and laughing. His laugh was infectious and like no other. He also loved hunting, fishing, and exploring the outdoors, especially with family and friends in Northern Wisconsin. His team was the Packers and had a gift of knowing what the coaches should do. John loved American history, loved knowing how things worked, and attained knowledge in just about everything. He really loved his music and loved it loud. His greatest joy and biggest sense of pride was his son.
From Tyler “I always looked up to my dad. He taught me and gave me many things. He taught me how to drive. Working at Rohners he taught me how to be a hard worker. When I was 12 he bought me my first guitar which lead to my love of playing music. Over the years we bonded over music, and listening to Bad Religion, Johnny Cash, Social Distortion, the Misfits, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Agent Orange and the Descendants. We saw Social Distortion twice, once at the Pabst and once at Summerfest. He bought me tickets to go see my favorite band Green Day. We were supposed to see Bad Religion in for his birthday at the end of April. I’ll always miss the long car rides with him going Up North, spending time seeing family, fishing and never catching anything, bonding over a beer, and just spending time together. I was always proud of my father and always will be. He made me the man I am today. I will always miss him and forever love him. He was the best Dad I could have ever asked for.”
Go grab a Mountain Dew and raise a toast to John- Dad, son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend.

My thoughts and prayers are with John’s family. I was acquainted with his brother and sisters, but didn’t know John. I learned a lot about him from his obituary–an exceptional man, who will be dearly missed.
With love and my sincere sympathy,

Tim Harmann and Family says
Johnny,
You will be dearly missed. I know that we have grown apart over the years but the childhood memories will live forever. I tell “some” of the childhood stories and adventures you and I had to my children and how we use to ride our bikes every where. Those were the good days, riding all summer and summer nights. And now, you ride off into the sunset.

Worked with Johnny met him through Mari at JQ Foxes. He got me the job at Rohner asfalt. I called him pumpkin due to the orange truck he had. We always argued in fun about built up trucks and I had a big bad ass chevy truck that could out due whatever truck he had but one night he showed up with a front end loader and shut me up.I saw alot of Johnney a nd was shocked at his passing. I had been calling his cell phone to no avail so imagine my suprise to his death. Im going to miss mr asfalt and everything he taught me. Rip my good friend. Ill see you in the next life. Say hi to my beloved Hunny Bun Mari while you are there. I love you man.
