A proud member of the United Auto Workers union, John spent his career as an assembler at John Deere Coffeyville Works (formerly Funk Mfg. Co.)

He was an avid hunter and fisherman, a passionate fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, and an exceptional cook, especially when grilling was involved. John found joy and peace in these simple pleasures.

 

John's most cherished moments were those spent with his loved ones. His love for his family was immeasurable, particularly for his son, Lucas, and his grandchildren, Lincoln and Everly.

 

He is survived by his son Lucas (Kaitlyn Foster) Twitchell, his grandchildren Lincoln and Everly Twitchell, his sister Debbie (Steve) Bigham, his brother Allen Twitchell. He was preceded in death by his parents, Virgil and Jeanette Twitchell.
