Jan loved music, flying, river rafting, and traveling to the sun and the beach, especially across our southern border, with his travel buddy, Ann. Jan had a way of making every moment memorable. He had a spirit that was larger than life. Whether you were a longtime friend or a stranger, he always had a smile for you. He had a true love for life.

He is a great uncle to Anjali, Madeline, Aliana, and Colton. He is also survived by his two companion cats, Presh and Stach, who he adored.
