John Dehner
John Dehner, 66, of Lawrenceburg, IN, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, October 27, 2024, at his residence. John was a dedicated distributor for McKee Bakery for 30 years, where he formed lasting relationships with colleagues and customers alike.
An avid fisherman, John found joy in the peacefulness of the water. He took great pride in his home, maintaining “the greenest grass you’ll ever see.” Fridays were special to him, as he enjoyed watching horse racing at Turfway Race Park and Belterra with his friends.
Above all, John cherished family time. He was lovingly known as Pop Pop and Papa to his grandkids, who brought him immense joy.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Milton Sr. and Ann (nee: Shepard) Dehner.
John is survived by his children, Adam (Tara) Dehner and Kate (Adam) Dickman; his companion of over 20 years, Alta Witt; grandchildren: Penelope, Avery, Scarlett, Andi and Nathan; siblings, Tab (Karen) Dehner and Jenny (Dan) McKinney; nieces and nephews: Alex, Andy, Ali, Lauren and Lindsay; as well as many good friends.

Childhood memories
John was such a great guy.
I have many great childhood memories of him as our families were very close and we grew up together. He was the cool older brother as well as the middle child in the family and acted accordingly.
As kids, we would run around outside from dawn till dusk only pausing briefly when his dad would whistle for them to come home for dinner.
As teenagers, we drove our parents (and older siblings) crazy with the unauthorized parties we hosted.
As adults we always enjoyed catching up whenever possible.
John was kind and generous and loved his family. He was a friend to all who knew him and wiill be missed by many.
John is missed so much
John was a wonderful friend & neighbor to my parents, and that meant the world to them. When our Mom passed away, John and Alta were right there for our Dad, and we thank you for that. It was a pleasure knowing such a kind, funny, loving man. Thank you for always being there. We will miss you.
We loved seeing john
