Was this due to a long term illness or a tragic accident?  Either way, the Hanover wrestling community is in my prayers.

Coach John Willems unexpectedly passed away this morning in his hotel room. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and the Hanover Wildcat wrestling family.

Sorry to hear, John's brother Doug is a good friend from h.s.  I met John a few times, good man.

May God Bless you all at Hanover.  Brenden and Catherine told me the news this morning.  The class that school displays on the mat is from the coaching they get.  You all are some of the best individuals I've ever met.  May the Lord comfort  each and everyone in your community.

I would like to thank the Indiana wrestling community for all the support that we have received here at Hanover Central. John Willems will be missed and never forgotten. He made a difference is so many peoples lives that his influence will be greatly missed. John has left behind a loving wife and two young boys. Keep this young family in your prayers. Hanover Central Wrestling has been blessed to be a part of John's life.
