John E. Holmquist, of New Ulm, has left this earth for a new journey. He passed away in his home with his family by his side.

An adored husband, father, grandfather and friend, he will be forever treasured in our hearts.

John is survived by his wife of 35 years, Alma Marin; daughter, Alex Dadante (Chris); son, Zach Holmquist; grandson, Lincoln John Dadante; extended family and many friends. He was preceded by his parents, John A. and Jeanne.

John was a world-renowned guitarist who touched the lives of his many students and mentees. He took great pride in his second career as a financial advisor, which required less travel and allowed him more time with his family. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

A Celebration of Life service will be scheduled for a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to Schubert Club or The Grand Center for Arts & Culture.
