John Ernest Hendry Jr

June 15, 1965 — April 30, 2022

John Ernest Hendry Jr., 56, of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, passed away at his home on Saturday, April 30, 2022, after a three-year fight with colon cancer.

John was a proud Idahoan, born and raised in the Coeur d’Alene area. He was happiest while spending his time outdoors with his wife of 29 years, Vanessa, friends and family. John was known in the community for his loyalty and generosity and was a familiar face to many during his 34-year career at Kmart where he served the local outdoor community as the sporting goods manager.

John is preceded in death by his son, Tyler Hendry and father, John Hendry Sr. He is survived by his wife, Vanessa Hendry; son, Ryan Hendry; daughter and son-in-law, Heather and Logan Meyer; mother, Sandra Hendry; sister, Bambi Weddle; mother-in-law, Sunne’ Rose; seven grandchildren, and a countless number of friends that were considered family.

We hope there are Mountains and Budweiser in Heaven.

The family will hold a private celebration of life, to be planned at a later date. Yates Funeral Home is entrusted with final arrangements. Please visit John’s online memorial and sign his guestbook at www.yatesfuneralhomes.com
