John Yohan Hwang ('98) Now in Heaven

John Yohan Hwang

07/26/1979 - 10/29/2023

Cono Class of 1998

John Yohan Hwang unexpectedly went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on October 29, at the age of 44. John leaves behind his wife Amy & three sons. Read John's obituary.

In the '97-'98 Class yearbook, John wrote the following: "My Father has influenced me the most, because he is a living example of a Christian. He is not scared or too prideful to admit he's wrong. He is so strict and stern, and yet so gentle, understanding and very wise."

John was involved in basketball, soccer, drama & choir at Cono. His advice to the underclassmen was to be active and support the school. Have school spirit and encourage each other.

We are past students, educators, community members, and anyone who loves Cono Christian School. We have been influenced and our lives changed as a result from experiences and lessons learned at Cono.

The property at Cono is now owned and operated by Ridge Haven Cono, a camping and retreat ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America. Jesus is at the center of this ministry, and its executive director is Wallace Anderson. Ridge Haven also has a camp near Brevard, North Carolina.

Through our giving we believe that God will once again use this generation of believers to invest in the next generation. We believe that He will use our hands and feet to minister to those whom He calls to the Cono campus once again. You can donate at ridgehaven.org/donations. Look for a way to specify that it goes to Ridge Haven Cono. If you would like more details, please email abelz100@gmail.com.

We will be delighted to accomplish this resurgence of “Cono" together. We know from Psalm 50:10 that God owns "...the cattle on a thousand hills," and that He could accomplish this goal without us, but we love that He chooses to use people like you and me to live out and accomplish His purposes.
