John Wellsandt

John Wellsandt died at his home on July 21 with his wife by his side.

John was born in Ritzville and graduated from WSU as a CPA. After college he worked for Arthur Anderson in Seattle.

He eventually went back to the family farm where he and his brother, Don, were third-generation wheat farmers. He loved the challenge of farming. He retired in 1993.

John loved the outdoors. He was an avid skier, golfer and whitewater rafter. He was a fun man who was loved by many people.

John and Sharon traveled the globe. Their idea of fun was to go somewhere they had never been.

John was preceded in death by his only son, Jason. He is survived by his wife, Sharon; stepdaughters, Debbie Becker and Christy Phillips; five grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and his brother, Don.

At his request, no public service will be held.
