John Peter Van Dyken

May 17, 1932 Dec. 18, 2018

It is with great sorrow that we announce the death on December 18, 2018, of our much-loved John Peter Van Dyken, the third of 12 children born to Peter and Grace Van Dyken in Chicago, Illinois, on May 17, 1932

John temporarily left his wife, Elaine of 62½ years. He leaves two daughters, Linda Howerton and Lisa Van Dyken; son-in-law, Ronald Howerton; three grandchildren, Reagan, Daniel and Julianne. For in the Father’s house are many mansions, where he surely made a joyful entry and was welcomed by our Lord himself. Although his family will miss him sorely, we know that John is rejoicing in what it really means “To depart and be with Christ, which is far better” (Philippians 1:23b). John was of the Baptist faith.

Online condolences may be sent to the family through the website www.ozark funeralhome.com. Funeral services are under the personal care and direction of the Ozark Funeral Home in Anderson, Missouri.
