He passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 20, 2015, with family by his side. His parents, Alex and Anna Kochergen, immigrated from Russia in 1912. He was one of 12 children. John was a farmer. He and his brother Alex farmed property in Huron, CA. They grew potatoes, which were processed at the plant on Brawley Avenue in Fresno, CA. He became diversified in farming, with organic oranges and almonds, being what is currently farmed. Through his love of reading, he researched oil and gas exploration, and this became another venture. He was also one of the founding members of Kerman State Bank. John's calling was to his family first and then his community, as he served as Minister of the Russian Molokan Church in Kerman, CA for the past 38 years. His compassion to help those in need was very evident to all. He was a generous man who brought families from Russia, so that they could live in America and experience the American dream. He and his wife Vera, in prior years, made several trips to Russia to connect with relatives. They took bibles and helped rebuild Russian churches. The love of his Russian heritage was evident to all who would listen. John will be missed by his family and community. He was home when he passed, under hospice care and caregivers. Our family would like to thank Dr. Jeffrey Hubbard; the staff of Home Select Care; and Hinds Hospice. The care you provided our father is much appreciated and will not be forgotten. John was preceded in death by his wife of 65 years, Vera M. Kochergen (Tolmasoff), in 2007. He is survived by his sons, John Kochergen and his wife Leslie, and Mike Kochergen and his wife Tanya; daughters, Kathy Korneff and her husband Allen, June Belikoff and her husband Robert, Ann Shuken, Vernie Podsakoff and her husband Philip, Natalie Kalpakoff and her husband Jay, and Janet Schoenfeld; his 16 grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren. A Public Viewing will be held at Yost & Webb Funeral Home in Fresno, CA on Thursday, June 25, 2015, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. A Private Service will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2015. Funeral Home
