John Glen Homan, a 55-year-old male, passed away on Friday, March 24, 2023, in Elkhart, Indiana. Born in San Bernardino, California, on January 31, 1968, he spent his early years in Bend, Oregon, a place he remembered fondly for its beauty and hoped to one day revisit. His life was one of varied experiences and passions, marked by a deep love for his family, a commitment to education, and a creative spirit.
After graduating from Rhema Bible Training College in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, he
furthered his education at Indiana University South Bend, earning an associate degree with a focus on Spanish, a language he was passionate about. This passion led him to a career as a Multilingual Learner Paraprofessional at Northridge Middle School in Middlebury, Indiana, where he dedicated himself to helping students. He was a man of many talents, finding joy in playing the hand drums and expressing himself through the written word as a published author of poetry. He was an active member of a poetry group at The Bookworm.
His faith was also a central part of his life, as he and his wife were members of the New Creation Fellowship Church in Granger. He was a devoted husband to his wife, Laura, and a loving father to their daughter, Emma. His passing was a great loss to his family, including his sister, and a wide circle of relatives and friends. There is no information available from online sources regarding any arrests or suspects in connection with his death. A memorial service was held to celebrate his life, with a request for attendees to wear their favorite Hawaiian shirts in his honor, a testament to his vibrant spirit. His final resting place will be in Bend, Oregon, the cherished landscape of his youth.
