Obituary
John Marcus Haney, 61, from Dana Point, CA, went to be with the Lord on Monday, July 18. 2011, after a seven-year battle with cancer.

John was a devout Christian who loved and honored the Lord in his daily life. He was a beloved example to his family and friends, down to his last hours on this earth. He will be remembered most for this, his patience, compassion, and irrepressible sense of humor.

He will also be missed terribly by his eleven nieces and nephews, their families and his dear friends.
A viewing will be held Thursday, July 21st at O?Connor Mortuary in Laguna Hills from 6 ? 8 PM. His funeral service will be held Friday at Christ Community Church in Laguna Hills where he and Margie were active members. Burial will follow at El Toro Memorial Park.
His family would like to thank our family and friends for your prayers and support during this time and the past seven years. We love you all and so did John.

Tribute to John Marcus Haney
John Haney was a man of Grace,With warmth and kindness on his face
We’re grateful for him in our lives,. Not a moment did he waste
Short in Years…Long in Life…John left us more than most
And so today we celebrate…And to his Life we Toast
Not many words did he say,. But those he chose could make your day
Sometimes his wisdom offered up,. Most often humor was his touch
Margie, His Wife, His Partner, His best friend
Lived simply together…A wonderful Blend
The A.M. ritual of coffee … Shared with words often unsaid,
Comments from the stories,Thoughts from What they read.
There were work and world discussions, But always Number One
How are our children doing?,.Are they having fun?
Brett and Blythe and Kendra,Sourced Joy beyond compare
Added to the Pleasure Package,Candace, Noelle, and ” Bear”
A Family day of football,Was competitive and fun
In The banter and the chatter, Did not matter which team won
John’s humor made us smile ,.In tough and easy times
His wit was quick and edgy, Often just one line
His friendship was a mainstay…For many that he knew
It nourished heart and mind and soul,. For us he was the glue
His health an ongoing challenge…. He never did complain
He sought his God for answers,For words to help explain
John Haney had a purpose …Leave this world a Better place
He truly made a difference…Not a moment did he waste
He treated life with Reverence…. Modeled life for us to see
Stood strong in truth and honesty,. How we all could be
John touched our lives with Spirit…In an Extra Special way
With High Esteem and Deep Respect…. We’ll miss him Everyday!

You all are a part of my family that I haven’t gotten to know very well, and I miss that. I love reading about your love for the Lord. If not sooner, I’ll get to know you all better in heaven.

We will greatly miss hearing Uncle John sing hymns in worship behind us on Sunday mornings. We can’t wait to see him again. We loved him very much and it was an honor to call him “Uncle”. With love and broken hearts, James, Kristi, Matthew, Hannah, and Emily xxoo

It is very easy to love a brother elder in Christ, like John. I know him to be a good and faithful servant. He brought yrs of happiness to us, and many others. Soon we will serve our Lord together again. Won’t that be fine? The Petersen family sends love to the Haney family.
