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 born August 13, 1949, in Los Angeles to Landon and Lois Haney. He grew up in Glendale, CA, and attended Culter Academy where he played football and met his future wife, Margery Jean Grindley. They married in 1969. Together, they raised three children.
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 is survived by his wife of almost 42 years, Margie, his children, Blythe, Brett, and Kendra, daughter-in-law Candace, granddaughter Noelle; his mother, Lois, brother and sister-in-law, Crit and Janice Haney, sister and brother-in-law Judy and Jim Haley, brother-in-law and sister-in-law John and Marilyn Grindley, brother-in-law and sister-in-law Jeff and Bonnie Grindley, brother-in-law Bruce Grindley and his dog, Bear. 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.

We were blessed to have John in our lives for over 45 years. He was a special friend and will be dearly missed. He was a man of faith and family, and his marriage to Margie is an inspiration to all those who knew them. It is written that “God is the only unchangeable reality; wherever you are, in life or in death, he will be there. He is the ultimate reward to those who love him.” We rejoice in knowing that he is home with the Lord and is at peace.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
John 14:27

When I think of John I smile because he always had a smile…..and something funny to say. I was in awe of his strength and bravery and how much he trusted God to get him through his darkest hour. AND…I was so proud and happy to be related to John and will miss him greatly!
