Johnnie Dee “John” Endicott, 69 of Glenwood, Iowa passed away April 9, 2021 at his home in Glenwood. He was born on August 2, 1951 at Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, Nebraska to Jay Dee and Joyce Elaine (Coghill) Endicott. John was raised in several small communities in southwest Iowa and southeast Nebraska and graduated from Fremont Mills High School.

John was past president of Glenwood Optimist Wrestling, Charter member and past trustee of F.O.E. 3784 and Glenwood American Legion Post 141.
