John Andrew, Jr. was born on October 22, 1923, in Sioux Center, the son of Andrew and Alida (Berghuis) De Zeeuw. He was raised on a farm west of Sioux Center, where he attended a country school through the eighth grade. He then transferred to the Sioux Center High School, graduating with the class of 1941. Shortly thereafter, he entered the United States Army, stationed mainly in the Philippines. He was in route to Japan when World War II ended. On September 24, 1946, he married Ella Marie Duistermars at the Central Reformed Church in Sioux Center. They farmed in the Middleburg, Sandy Hollow, and Perkins areas for 25 years. He then was a greenkeeper at Sandy Hollow Golf Course near Sioux Center for three years and during the winters assisted Dr. Merrill Wallinga in his veterinary practice. For fifteen years, he worked in the maintenance and transportation departments of Hope Haven in Rock Valley.
