John M. Vendel Obituary
In loving memory of John M. Vendel (Oregon, Illinois), who departed this world on July 31, 2025 at the age of 56. John leaves behind a legacy remembered by family and friends. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As John departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though John may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy John leaves behind.
He was predeceased by: his father Jim Sr.; and his grandparents, Violet, Harold Czemske, Cecelia and Louis Vendel.
He is survived by: his significant other Debbie; his mother Jeanette; and his brothers, Jim (Kathy) and Joseph (Amy).
In lieu of flowers or plants, and in honor of John's desire to spread love, education, fun and folly through music, John chose Todd Rundgren Spirit in Harmony Foundation as his way of paying it forward.
