Austin, MN. John attended St. Augustine
John was always up for a good road trip. Whether it was down to the house in Mexico cruising in the Dodge van with nothing but lawn chairs in the back or epic pack-in trips in the Sierras, to just hanging at the lake catching some walleye. Wherever he was, he always shared a good story; Swimming the Mississippi as a young child from the Wabasha side to Nelson, WI one of the many times he made a run from the orphanage, hanging out with Jacque Cousteau and author Clive Cussler in the heady days of the 1960s-70s Southern California diving scene during which time John speared a 420 pound record breaking Black Sea Bass, or sinking his 36 ft boat of the coast of Catalina Island.
Sid Bauer, Alex Bauer, Owen Culbert, Olivia Culbert, Marissa Bushey, Cody Huston, Mady, Scarlett, Ella, and Berlin Shields, Kayleigh and Nick Shields. Great grandchildren Eli, River, Remy, and Kayla Bushey; Coden and Iris Rose Huston Shields and newest to the family, Leo Dean Behr. John is also survived by brothers Marvin ‘Lefty’ Erickson and family, Al (Betty) Brandt and family, and sister Cathy Muellerliele and family. Great nephew Jeremy Frank and family. John is also survived by sister-in law Linda Hoag and her daughters Christyn (Mark Severtson) McFarland and Chelsea (Brandon) Smith, and sister-in-law Lisa (Ron) Hunt and her daughters Rose and Ricki Ramirez. John always made it a priority to attend any events that his grandchildren, nieces and nephews were involved in, cheering them on. John is also survived by special friend Carol Hoffman of Nisswa, MN.
There are so many birth relatives in the Mankato area that John was incredibly proud of that came to be by his side in his final hours and for that we are so grateful.
career and John returned to Austin just in
John worked a hard, long life retiring as a Journyman Piledriver and spent his retirement busier than most. John was a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity for over twenty-five years, first as a builder of homes then working at the ReStore, scrapping metal that would have been discarded and generating needed money for the nonprofit. John valued his time with Habitat for Humanity and counted fellow volunteer former President Jimmy Carter as one of the great influences in his life. John also spent hundreds of hours along with his children providing tear out and skilled labor in the early years of the Paramount Theatre renovation.
