Mr. Johny “JB” Bair, who has been a resident of Kansas the past forty years, having lived the greater part of that time near Wichita, in Valley Center, Kansas has journeyed to his Lord and Savior.

Mr. Bair was born in Künzelsau, West Germany to Everett and Johanna Bair on September 19th, 1961. He became a Naturalized American in 1965 and lived most of his childhood in northern California.

John was an accomplished mechanic, bringing to life old Volkswagens, Chevrolets and even aircraft. He graduated from college with a degree in Aviation Maintenance as was licensed as an FAA Airframe and Power Mechanic. His true gift was his empathy and compassion for the people that had left this world for a better place. He worked for 25+ years at Wilbert Vault Company providing services to many families throughout Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska as the gentleman that set the final resting place of their beloved. Regardless of rain or shine, he was going to be there for every family, every time!

Mr. Bair was preceded in death by his parents, Everett and Johanna Bair.
John was a man of solid character and trusted by all who knew him. He united with the Ashbury Church and as an accomplished drummer from his high school days, giving praise and glory with the clash of his cymbals (Psalm 150:4-6) and the beat of his drum to his Lord.

He was also a big part of the Wichita Fellowship Club (http://www.wichitafellowship.org/101club.htm) and loved to visit the 101 Club to fish.

Having been a faithful Christian man Jesus said, "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give Thee a crown."
