It has been one year old buddy.  We miss you so much.  It has not been the same the last year.  Wish you were here.  Thanks for being a great friend.  Love ya always.

A great friend many years ago. So sad to hear of his passing. Rest in peace John.



I remember playing wiffle ball with John and his older brother and sister in their back yard. We were in the 6th or 7th grade. They were all very practiced in this game compared to myself. John and I were much smaller than his siblings and he explained to me how rough it was when they first began playing this game; do to his smaller size. Barry could easily hit the ball over the fence. And then John would have to fetch it. John's sister (Barbara?) was also very good, which I saw first hand on that day. I remember John explaining to me how good he felt when he would, on occasion, hit it out of the park; over the fence. Then it would be his older brother's turn to pick it out of the woods.
Even back then John was a great sports enthusiast. He was a very kind, respectful and funny individual. My family enjoyed having him around. It feels good to know that John's good nature remained and grew with him through life.  I am so sorry to hear of his passing. God bless you John Claussen and your family. You are with the angels now.

Great guy. Knew him for years and always enjoyed seeing his smiling face. I will always remember his kindness and understanding of others' problems. God Bless. RIP buddy. 

He was the best General contractor I had the privilege to work with. He had so much knowledge. We have a saying on the jobsite now..."I'm no Johnny Claussen...But I'm not  Mickey mouse either."He will be truly Missed. Maximum Respects & love🙏🏼

RIP John.....I enjoyed sitting next to you at TCB and having serious discussions about just about everything...I'll see you again someday...😪

John was a great friend of mine who I was lucky enough to get to know over the last 5 years.  I met John while working at a sports bar in Kirkland.  The energy that he brought to that place was the best!  He was a great sports fan who had a vast amount of knowledge in the history of sports.  He knew very odd and detailed sports history that would often shock people.  He loved a good screwdriver, but only if it was made proportionally correct to his standard.  On a hot day, perhaps a MacNJack with a lemon wedge.  John's endless hilarious stories would often have a table full of people silent, listening and laughing as to what he was going to say next.  This man's humor was something like I had never seen before.  He was absolutely hilarious at times!  
One thing that John did that always meant the most to me was ask about my son and about the youth soccer team that I coach. 
 John made a point to always ask me about the score and game details every weekend when I met up with him.  He always gave me encouragement to continue coaching and talked about how good it was for the kids.  This meant so much to me.  He always asked about my son because he knew that was the most important thing in my life.  
I could go on and on with great memories that I shared with John.  What I really want to leave here is that John was a great friend to me and I will always miss him.  Championship Weekend will never be the same.  Going to UW softball games will never be the same.  Sports in general will not be the same.  Life will not be the same without John Claussen.  You will be forever missed my friend.

Rest In Peace Amigo, you’ll never been forgotten.! 🙏🏼


John Claussen was a terrific friend and one of a kind craftsman. He was a Sammamish Totem Grad and proud owner of JC's Construction. He had an eye for the details and would settle for nothing less than perfection. John's work was so outstanding it was hi-lited in the mega magazine Better Homes and Gardens.  He was truly a master craftsman who loved his work and enjoyed helping customers and friends, meanwhile providing master-quality work at a fair value. Those of us who were fortunate to be the recipient of his workmanship will be quick to say, Claussen built that!
John loved sports and had a knack for knowing unusual and mundane sports facts. He loved nestling up to the bar at his favorite pubs to catch the day's game on the telly. Accompanying him was the day’s crossword puzzle and a cold screwdriver.
John did it right and he did it his way and we appreciated that about him. John leaves many friends behind who wish we had more time to share; we will never forget John Claussen.
