John Blair, 56, passed away Friday, February 27, 2026 surrounded by the love of his family. He was born on April 7, 1969, in Appleton, the son of Stephen and Jayne (Jansen) Blair. John was married to Jenny Marie Herman on June 15, 1996, at Mount Calvary Church, Kimberly. A devoted husband, father, brother, son and friend, John was a man who gave selflessly and sacrificed much to ensure those he loved were cared for and supported. His family was his proudest accomplishment and the center of his world.

A highly respected and successful mechanical engineer, John built a career defined by intelligence, innovation, and integrity. He approached his work with precision and passion, earning the admiration of colleagues and peers alike. His dedication and strong work ethic were evident in everything he did.

Outside of his profession, John found joy in the things he loved most — especially cars. Whether restoring, tinkering, or simply talking shop, he had a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and performance. He also had a creative spirit in the kitchen, where he loved experimenting with new recipes and flavors, often turning simple meals into memorable experiences for his family.

John will be remembered for his quiet strength, generous heart, unwavering love of God, and commitment to those he loved. His legacy lives on in the lives he shaped, the lessons he taught, and the love he gave so freely.

He is deeply missed and forever cherished. John is survived by his wife: Jenny; twin sons: Alex (fiancé Erick Silva) Blair and Nick Blair; parents: Stephen and Jayne Blair; brothers: Jim and Mark Blair; a brother-in-law: Joe (Susan) Herman; and many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

John was preceded in death by his father- and mother-in-law: John and Annmarie Herman, and a sister-in-law: Amy (Randy) Wyman.

A private family service will be held.
