John was a great and generous friend for over 50 years going all the way back to Snider High

Happy Thanksgiving, Dad. First one without you, feels strange. We miss you and love you. 

I had the pleasure of being one of John's tenants.
I cannot pass up the opportunity to say thank you John.

Praying for your family.
Mildred.

No matter what, John was always smiling from the first time I met him at the Theta Chi house, in every interaction we had over our four years at IU and the last time I saw him at one of our fraternity golf outings. John brought everyone’s mood up whenever he was around. His laugh was infectious and as others have said he had a one of a kind voice that you could pick out in a crowd! One of my favorite stories about John was when his car got towed after he had gotten hundreds of 1970’s dollars in tickets. He just told the cops to “keep it!” I can truly say he’s a person I have only good memories of and I’m sure many of his friends can say the same! My condolences and much peace and love to his family…….. revel in your memories of this lovely man.


John left a last impression on every single person that he encountered. When he would call, he’d say hey this is John Zieg but you already knew because he had a one-of-a-kind voice. He was an amazing Realtor that was fabulous at finding solutions to make sure that every deal got done in a fair manner.  He was a dear friend that will be missed.  Jun, Jessica, Jada, Jordan & family, you have my deepest Sympathies and condolences. 


Jun, 
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time in the passing of your beloved John. May the beautiful memories  you shared through the years bring you comfort and peace in the days ahead. With our love, 
Allan and Connie Vance

John was a good friend and mentor. I started with Roth Wehrly at the East Berry Street office in January 1991. John was always so encouraging and there to help with any questions I may have had. John always had a smile on his face, no matter what. John always saw the good in everyone and every situation. So many people will undoubtedly miss John. We always had such a great group of people at the East Berry Street office. I will always have fond memories of John: God Bless Jun and the entire family of  John Zieg.

The moment I met Johnny we became close.  He was my fraternity father and good friend… 
It seemed like we were the same on Acacia football field…
Wish we could have seen each other more often…
Rest my friend Rest…..

Got to know johnny initially from our college days at I.U. theta chi fraternity. From there we were roomates over the next several years at some of his numerous properties in fort wayne. Thru out the years we played on softball teams together, went to numerous I.U. football games. Johnnys personality, sense of humor,  kindness and compassion was contagious. Loved  the guy. One of a kind. He will be deeply missed by all that knew him well. His voice and presence will be cherished forever. On a sidenote" Johnny drop for 50".

I’m so sorry to hear about John. I have rented office space from John for a number of years. He was always such a kind and caring person. So, just know that he touched even those who knew him as their landlord. I will miss him. 

So sorry for your loss.Good friend,great guy!I am heading South this morning other wise I would be there.He will be  greatly missed by all who knw him

John has been a Good Friend for 55 years. From 4 years at IU at Theta Chi Fraternity; Years Together in Real Estate; Teammate on Softball Teams; Basketball Groups; Lunches; Parties; and Mostly Many Laugh Filled Conversations.  I Will Miss Him Greatly but Will Treasure All the Memories.  Thanks John.  

Dear family and friends of John,
Such a wonderful man! Even though not crossing paths with John often, it didn't matter because his huge personality, infectious smile, positive attitude and love for life just flowed so freely from him always whenever we did. Those were just a few of the things that made him so special and loved by so many. John always made me feel so comfortable and welcome and he did that for everyone which truly made your day so much better with his presence! Heaven has gained a gem. God Bless you, my friend.

Forty plus years, 3 or 4 times every week we were at the gym all the way back to American Fitness on the South side to Iron Society Gym on Maplecrest. It's not the same without him, but I can hear "coach" say, "Dana, You go. You go on now."

Jun&family,I’m sending so many prayers and love to you all.  I was so sad to hear of John’s passing. I loved him, my family loved him. My dad loved him so much. He was such a good man, always with the biggest smile and best laugh. He would always say Tracey Racey everytime he saw me and offer a big hug. I pray you all feel his love, the memories and his presence all throughout your life. He’s still with you always.  May GOD comfort, heal and guide you. Xoxo Tracey Lehman Abate

I've been friends with John about 50 years. Every one loved John with his engaging caring personality. John joined my Real Estate Company about 6 months ago to give his career a soft landing. It's been an honor to help John and his family. Rest in peace my friend. You earned it.

My condolences to all of John's family and friends.  John was a great guy, always had a smile and a kind word.  Such a lovely, caring person.  I will always remember and appreciate him.  May God bless John richly.

I will always cherish the time I got to spend with John.  He immediately felt like family when I met him. Selfishly I wish we all got more time with him. I can’t believe my first time at the lake will be without him.  Into paradise may the angels lead you John. We love you.
