John Edward Stumper, 52, of Springfield passed away on Wednesday August 14, 2024 at Memorial Medical Center.

John was born in Springfield on July 21, 1972 the son of Donald and Evelyn Stumper.

He was known to be a “jack of all trades” to many people. John was someone that would do anything for anybody that needed a hand. He enjoyed cooking, listening to Ozzy and Randy Rhoads and watching the Green Bay Packers. However, John loved his family and especially his children. He was a hands-on Dad with a heart of gold. In the end, John was a registered organ donor, and he will be able to give the gift of life to several people whose prayers will be answered. John was a member of Central Baptist Church in Springfield.

John was preceded in death by his parents and a nephew, Roy E. Robison IV.

He is survived by his three children, Evelyn Renee Stumper, Abigail Grace Stumper and Issac Eric Lee Stumper; four siblings, Pamela Ridge, Claude Ridge (Dianne), Donna Ridge, and Theresa Stumper-Wallace (Charles).

A Memorial Service is being held at Church of the Living God, Temple 119, 430 N Milton Ave, Springfield, IL 62702 on Tuesday August 27, 2024 starting at 6:00 pm.
