    I love you Bro. Engibous … I often called Him the silent Minister … He always reminded me of who I am in Christ … I will never forget His love and passion, but most of all … the determination to win souls to God’s kingdom. You were a father, brother, a man of God to so many of us. Thank you for loving me and nurturing me and teaching me and reminding me of who I am in Christ Jesus – our Lord – our God …. until we meet again … I love you!

    Mindy, Tiffany, Matt and Family. We want to extend our deepest condolences. John had such a loving heart and always was a joy to be around at church. He always made something heavy seem light as he had a lot of laughter to lift your spirits. We appreciate everything he did for us when we were new in the Lord. He was a man of Godly wisdom that always resonates in us. He will be deeply missed.

Testimonials

Last warm-hearted care of our mother

Words cannot even begin to express the tremendous gratitude our family has for a team like the one at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home & Crematory. Thank you for the gentle lovely care over our mother Delia (Rosa) Balderas. Never having had a direct experience with a funeral home to this extent we didnt know what to expect. We didnt have a clue that they would step right in and have the most comforting team surrounding us that thought of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING for anyone in our position. It was very evident from the first discussion on the phone that they were already well prepared to handle every little detail for us that we weren’t even aware would be required. Mark and his team truly eased so much of the unknown worries right out of our path, and left room for us to just focus on the small personal details we wanted for our mom. It was nice to know that all cost involved was in black and white on their site as well as on paper at our first meeting. Leaving no room for question or doubt what so ever with any fee involved. It was truly a blessing to have everything written out so well and simplified with various price range options in a time that we needed crystal clear direction. Its been beautiful to see that their care and service didnt stop after our mom’s service came to an end. They continue to be in communication with immediate responses as questions arise along the way. God bless Mark, and the entire compassionate team, to be around to guide many many more for generations to come through life’s most difficult times. You are all truly amazing.
