Of Menomonee Falls. Entered into heaven on September 28, 2024 at the age of 65 years old. Beloved husband and best friend of Bonnie for 45 years. Loving father of Christopher ( fiancée Melissa) Maletz and Kayla (JD) Heiden. Proud Papa of Christopher “Buddy” and Jase “Booger”. Dear brother of Jim (Beth) Maletz and Denise (Jeff) McDowell and sister-in-law of Lori Maletz. Unforgettable uncle of Tanya, JJ, Stephanie, Christy and Michael. John will be dearly missed by other relatives and friends.
Preceded in death by his parents, John and Josephine, his brothers Dean and Bill Maletz.
John was generous to a fault, a teddy bear at heart, and yet he sugar coated absolutely nothing. He worked hard his whole life as an automotive technician, he was like the Babe Ruth of fixing cars and trucks.
He despised wearing socks or underwear, any clothing that wasn't camo, cigarette butts in his driveway, but most of all don't tickle his feet!
John had 4 true loves in his life, hunting, fishing , drinking beer while talking stupid but his number one love was his family.
