Name: Skyline Memorial Gardens and Funeral Home
Address: Portland, OR

Dear Family of John Durst:
I am sorry to know of John's passing.  I have been trying to find him for the past few months as my father (Gene McVicker) asked me to find him.  Louis was a person my dad respected and appreciated and knew John as well through General Construction.  Gene was an Operating Engineer and superintendent of the main yard in St. Johns, Oregon.
Dad passed May 9, 2024 and he had wanted to talk to John before he died at age 97.
My condolences to all of you- even though it is a year later- I know you miss him just as much.

Miss John’s sense of humor and fun stories…Hope you are resting in peace, John ❤️

Missing my friend’s stories, the laughter and the special times together.

Dearest Durst family,

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of John. I have known him since high school. He was quite the guy and adored by everyone who knew him  including me. I send you all my sincerest condolences. May all your sweet memories of your life with John sustain you now in your time of loss. 

Hugs and much love,

Chris and family, I’m so sorry to learn of your loss. John was such a joy to work for and with. He had a huge heart and I remember him always thinking up surprises. He had a great love of family. His smile, his laugh, his joy and his kindness will be missed.

Dear Chris and family,  

Our deepest sympathies go out to you all at this sad time.  John will be forever missed and never forgotten.  He will live on in our hearts and memories.  

With love,  
Tom and Cindy Douglas

Our hearts are with you at this sad time.  We will miss him terribly, but will cherish all our times together over the last 50+ years
