This is Ann Rennacker, the Secretary-Treasurer of Ocean Protection Coalition as well as a member of OccupyMendocino. We loved John for his kindness, activism, wisdom and tenacity. He was truly an example for us on how to live a completely productive life
and make the world a better place, in spite of all his challenges and setbacks. I still remember fondly our Occupy event in Fort Bragg where John gave a speech and was running for public office! That was many years ago and our active members have dwindled,
but we still stand up for the issues that brought us together. Bless John and his partner Barbara, and his children and grandchildren. He will be missed but he made such a positive difference in our lives and in the environmental movement. I am very glad
I got to know and love John Lewallen! </div>

<p>I am missing my father in law, John Lewallen, today, and wanting to share what I can, through words, of his life, with you all.
</p>
<p>John passed away on Friday morning, after months of battling it out in the hospital, as the fierce warrior he was. In the years I have known him, he had been diagnosed and treated for, what it felt like, was everything under the sun. He always survived.
He was a fighter. He moved forward. </p>
<p>When he passed, he was peaceful and finally at home with his beloved <a class="x_profileLink" title="Barbara Stephens" href="https://www.facebook.com/barbara.stephens.731?__tn__=%2CdK-R-R&eid=ARCtsw3U4oiY4cNYhUX57xbKenf29TU7dIvRZCHQdcevWIYacFFc-TitkVJkmyTIe0zwO8cPqBoq8prF&fref=mentions">

Jeremiah Kagin</a>, and their amazing kids. Barbara is an amazing and devoted partner and I love and appreciate her so very much.</p>
<p>My father in law taught me so many lessons--not by speaking them but by quietly and consistently living them, year after year, day after day. It would be impossible to sum them up here to ever adequately express what his life, example, and model for living
meant to me, and to my children. But I can say, he always wanted me, and all of us, to know we have choice. A choice as to how we live, what we participate in, what we take on. He was the only adult and parent figure I have ever had in my life who looked at
all I was doing and told me "I am proud of you, but if you stop doing all of that, I will still be proud of you. I want you to know you can stop."</p>
<p>This has been a season of loss for me and my family. In addition to losing John, I lost a pregnancy earlier this fall at 11 weeks. I guess things come in waves, when it rains it pours, Murphy's law, etc. Basically, sometimes life takes a huge shit on you.
But we move on, we move forward. </p>
<p>I don't know why I am sharing this now, here, but heck, we as women go through a lot trying to bring life into this world, and we as humans do so much to support our family and loved ones through illness and death. Despite all we might do to run away from
it, we all live at the mercy of this finite existence, doing what we can to make our lives meaningful in the face of our own mortality, an ultimate end that will take us away from our loved ones. And we are always vulnerable to loss and pain. But life is,
and always will be for all of us who are lucky enough to breathe it in, so very, very beautiful.
</p>
<p>The irony of trying to mourn John and this overall season of loss while jumping on a plane for work for the next two weeks and fundraising non-stop till end of year is not lost on me. I know I need to carve out some time.</p>
<p>I share this note to remind us all to, in John's memory, take things a little slower, cherish each other and life a little bit more, and to live in the present. He would have wanted that for all of us.
</p>
<p>The greatest testament to John, and to Eleanor, mother, wife, and devoted fighter for ocean protection, who left us too soon as well, are their children. I have never seen a group of siblings more devoted to each other and to their parents. In these last
few months, they loved and supported each other. They traded off in his care daily, weekly, monthly, along with Barabara--they worked as a team in all they do. If my children turn out only half as devoted, loving, responsible, caring, and wonderful as they
are, I will have done my job. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world to have these three humans and their partners as my family. I am in awe of these siblings I have married into, and my own husband, dedicated, loving, and consistent to all of us who
depend on him.</p>
<p>Thank you, John, for you wild, amazing, spirit and for sharing that with me for the last 15 years. I am sorry that my kiddos don't get to see their Grandpa in action by the seashore, harvesting from the ocean, for years to come, but as you said to us on
our last visit, you will be there, and wherever we are. We love you.</p>
<p>When we have a set date/time for a service to honor John, we promise to update all of you. Thank you for your love and support.</p>

OOPS! (I hope) in an attempt to contact R. Karch (Rizzerd), I sent
an e.mail to You ALL! The contents may well disturb many folks as I
was basically trying to confirm/deny a rumour I heard (on the RADIO?)
concerning the health & whereabouts of John Lewallen...
I sincerely apologize for the technoslipup, & more that sincerely hope
the rumour (of John's demise) was a huge exaggeration!
Sorry John (I owe You!), sorry Occupants...
