John James Uihlein, aged 89, passed away on August 20, 2026, in Wildwood, MO. Born on December 29, 1936, John dedicated over 30 years of his career to Monsanto Corporation as a Chemical Engineer and later partnered as a consultant in the same field.

John was a loving husband to his wife Beverly for 66 years and a guiding strength for his children Stephen, Karen, Susan, and David. His role as a grandfather to Alexandra and Andrew, and father-in-law to his children’s spouses (Ray, Tina and Tina), was filled with the same love and guidance that he provided his entire family. He also leaves behind his brother Walter, his sister-in-law Tina, and nephews Jonathan and Peter. He was preceded in death by his parents, Dorothy Rapp Uihlein and John James Uihlein, Sr.

John was a graduate of St. James High in Haverhill, MA, furthered his education at Northeastern University and obtained a master’s degree in business.  John also served in the Marine Reserves, embodying the values of dedication and service that he carried throughout his life.

He passionately supported his favorite sports teams, including the New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics, and Indiana Hoosiers. An avid bridge player, his hobbies brought him much joy and were a significant part of his leisure activities.

John was a member of St. Albans Roe Catholic Church in Wildwood, MO. His faith was an integral part of his life, and a mass to remember and celebrate his life was held there on September 4, 2026.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in John’s memory can be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital or Tunnel to Towers Foundation, reflecting his enduring spirit of giving and support for meaningful causes. John’s legacy of love, guidance, and support will be cherished and remembered by all who knew him and he will be missed by all who love him.
