Memorial Contributions Honor the Life of John Lundberg

One of ChildServe's deepest and most loyal advocates, John Lundberg of Johnston, Iowa, passed away suddenly on Sept. 9, 2019, at the age of 71.

A devoted grandpa to Jordyn Williams, a resident of ChildServe's Continuing Care Unit, John would arrive at ChildServe at 6:30 a.m. nearly every morning to play music and brush Jordyn’s hair and teeth to get her ready for the day. His dedication to family was unrivaled.

John was a respected banker, hotel/motel broker and real estate developer. His hobbies included playing golf and riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles.

Four years ago, John and his wife, Jill, were catalysts in transforming a little-used concrete courtyard at ChildServe into a healing garden. They were also deeply involved in a current ChildServe priority: extending care for medically complex young adults who previously would have “aged out” of the long-term care facility.

A total of $15,557 has been received in memorial contributions from 122 donors to honor the life of John Lundberg. These resources have been directed to ChildServe Forward Together capital campaign, a $10 million initiative to expand three signature programs: complex medical care, pediatric rehabilitation and behavioral health/autism.
