Obituary of John Hase

Lifelong Colorado resident, John Charles Hase passed away on November 8, 2013 at his home in Sterling, Colorado. He was 49 years old. John was born on March 16, 1964 to Gene and Mary (McElroy) Hase. John was the fourth of five children born to this union. John started elementary school in Seibert, Colorado. When the schools consolidated, he attended Hi-Plains Elementary School in Vona, Colorado, and then on to the Hi-Plains High School in Seibert. John loved his high school sports and friends at Hi-Plains where he was a fourth generation graduate. In July, after high school graduation, he was in a car accident and was a quadriplegic the rest of his life. In spite of his disability, he graduated from the University of Southern Colorado at Pueblo. After college, he went on to build a tax and accounting business, which he enjoyed very much. He also enjoyed and appreciated all his friends and clients, and they enriched his life, and gave it so much meaning over the years. John was very close to his family and enjoyed his brothers, Jeff (Brenda) of Sterling, Colorado and Andy (Audrey) of Kirk, Colorado; sisters Cecilia (Carl) Blackwell of Seibert, Colorado and Annette (Tony) Isenbart of Stratton, Colorado. John was very attached to his nieces and nephews: Dustin, Amy and Erin Blackwell; Jennifer, Leslie (Kevin) Mason and Devin Hase; Seth and Amanda Isenbart; Austin, Tyler and Carley Hase; and great niece Tegan Mason. His great sense of humor was always the life of family gatherings. John’s grandmother, Hope Hase, was always so dear to him. He enjoyed helping her celebrate her 94th birthday this past September. John is preceded in death by his grandfather, Virgil Hase; grandmother Eunice McElroy, and grandfather, Lawrence McElroy; a nephew Dustin Blackwell, a niece Abigail Hase and an uncle, Mike McElroy. We all, your aunts and uncles, cousins and all your many friends will miss your presence, humor and great spirit forever.
