John S. Hartnett
October 18th, 1956 - September 1st, 2024
John Steven Hartnett, a beloved husband, father, son, papa, and brother, passed away peacefully on September 1, 2024, with family by his side. Born in Alton, IL, he moved to Phoenix in 1974 to attend ASU. His life was defined by devotion, love, and faith, and he actively engaged with the Catholic church. He found joy as a sales professional of 28 years, a youth minister, Sir Knight of the 4th Degree of the Knights of Columbus, and church educator.
An avid golfer, John spent countless hours on the greens, sharing his love of the game with friends and family. Known for his youthful spirit, he often brought joy and laughter to those around him and his warmth was felt by everyone. He was preceded in death by his parents, Donald Robert Hartnett and Martha Lee Hartnett (Hentrich) and his sister Karen (Ron) Behney. He is survived by his wife of 44 years, Nina, his two daughters, Jackie (James) Ackerman and Bobbee (Kirk) Kornhoff, six cherished grandchildren, his brothers, Brad Hartnett and Dave (Lori) Hartnett, sister Marsha (Ron) Orson, and many nieces and nephews.
His memory will forever remain in our hearts, and his spirit will continue to inspire us. We find comfort knowing John is now at peace, watching over us with the same love and care he shared throughout his life. Rest in peace, John; you will be deeply missed.
