On February 2, 1969, John was born in St. Paul, MN, to parents Joseph and Bea (Bakewell) Eggert. The middle of three children, John grew up in a tightknit family. His siblings had an inseparable bond—they laughed, loved, and bickered as only siblings can. John cherished time with his extended family as well. Dinners at Granny’s house with all the aunts, uncles, and countless cousins were John’s favorite.
Following his graduation from Cottage Grove in 1987, John continued his education at St. Cloud State University. While visiting his former dorm, John met Heather among a “crop of new ladies.” Despite mistaking her for an older student, the two became friends. Heather initially tried setting John up with a friend, but fate had other plans.
In 1994, John and Heather were united in marriage at Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church. They had many adventures together—snowmobiling, attending concerts, visiting the cabin with college friends, and traveling. One of their greatest adventures began with the birth of Abby, their daughter. John embraced fatherhood wholeheartedly. He was loving, fun, and spoiled Abby rotten!
A gregarious man, John had the gift of gab. No matter the place and time, John could strike up a conversation and make new friends. During his 30-year long career in computer sales, John cultivated meaningful friendships with his customers. His positivity was simply infectious. Along with friends, John enjoyed golfing, ice fishing, and cheering on the Vikings.
John’s life was defined by those he loved—his family, friends, and faith community at River Valley Church. John held a deep, abiding faith in Christ. He is now greeted in Heaven by his father, Joseph Eggert; father-in-law, Howard Clausen; and his loving grandparents.
John is loved and missed by his wife, Heather Eggert, and their daughter, Abby Eggert; mother, Bea Eggert; sister, Debbie (Shawn) Dunford; brother, Dave Eggert; many aunts, uncles, cousins, other loving relatives, and friends.

So sorry to hear of John’s passing. Deepest condolences to the entire family. His smile will be missed.
I worked right next to John for a few years at BBC. What a wonderful guy. We shared many laughs. It was an honor to have him as my friend and colleague. Really sorry to hear this news
I was sadden to learn of Johns passing today. We live in the same building that John lived in. I had only known him for a couple of years but can attest to his kindness and friendly personality. We often ran into each other in the lobby and elevator. I enjoyed talking with John and we shared many similar views on the world. Every time I went for the mail and was gone for over an hour, my wife would ask “did you run into John today”. And of course the answer was yes. Even though I only knew him a short time I will truly miss his smiling face and great charm. My condolence to the entire Eggert family.
