John "Ike" Cyril Ivkovich, Sr. was the beloved husband of the late Irene, cherished son of the late Anton and late Agnes, loving father of John, Jr. (Mary Lynn), Tony (Sharon), Cindy Holstine-Shiner, Matthew (Vickie), and Dawn Ivkovich, proud grandfather of Ian, Emma, Samantha, Jenna, T.J., Zach, Victoria, Anthony, Spencer, Mateo, and Gianna, great-grandfather to Marcie, Robin, and Mila, dear brother to Vladimir "Lado" (Joan), Mary (late Bob), and Olga (late Lenny), fond uncle of many nieces and nephews, cousin and friend of many, and missed by all.

John was a proud member of the Teamsters Local Union for trucking. He was both an avid golfer and bowler. Later in life, Ike transitioned into becoming a massage therapist and a spiritual healer. His spirituality ultimately led to reiki. Healing Hands proved to help countless people throughout the years. If it was through massage or spiritual healing, Ike genuinely wanted to help people. His charitable contributions became a proud milestone of his life. For those who knew Ike, he could tell a good story. His beautiful storytelling proved to be magnetic as long as you gave him your open ears and some time. He will be sorely missed.

Memorial visitation will be held on Monday, August 15, 2022, from 5 to 8 p.m. A Funeral Service is scheduled for 7 p.m. that evening. Father Herb, from St. Francis of Assisi Church, will be presiding. An interment at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery will take place at a later date.
