John W. Sundlin

John W. Sundlin, 77, Jim Falls, died peacefully at Sacred Heart Hospital in Eau Claire, Monday, Feb. 6, 2023, with his wife, Sheila, at his side.

John was born June 12, 1945, in Chippewa Falls, to Walfred and Marjorie (Dunlap) Sundlin.

He grew up on his family’s farm in Jim Falls. John proudly served his country with the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, until his honorable discharge in 1967.

He loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing and sports of all kinds, and many will remember, he was an avid pool player.

John dairy farmed most of his life, retiring in 1996. Later, he started a deer farm, while working at TTM.

He will be deeply missed by family and friends, and by his four-legged sidekicks, Charlie and Daisy, who were truly his buddies. They loved riding with him on the side-by-side or in his truck.

John will be remembered by many adults, who spent so much time with him as teenagers, hunting, fishing, golfing, making maple syrup and playing cards.

He touched the lives of so many, enjoying all the time he was able to spend with each and every one of them.

Joon truly loved being home spending time with whoever stopped to visit.

He is survived by his wife of 36 years – Sheila; children Christal (Roger) and T.J (Christina); special nephew – Aaron; grandchildren – Ian and Paul; sister – Deatra (Gary), and their children, Staci, Scott and Sonya; and many other nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sister-in-law – Carrie; and nephew – Morgan.

A graveside service for family and close friends will be held at 2 p.m., Friday, March 10, 2023, at the Copp Cemetery, in the Town of Anson. The Rev. John and the Rev. Cheri Miskimen will officiate.

Military honors will be conducted by the Chippewa Falls Patriotic Council.
