John Landis Hartig II
April 25, 1947 - Sept. 30, 2007
John Landis Hartig II, was born April 25, 1947, in Albuquerque, N.M., to Monte Baldwin Hartig and John Landis Hartig. He was an “Air Force Brat” and spent much of his young years over seas including in Turkey and Europe. He returned to San Antonio, Texas in his second year of high school to continue his education at the brand new Randolph High School, Randolph AFB, Texas.
He lead the first Rohawk basketball team as team captain to the state tournament.
He continued his education at Southwestern University where he played basketball the full four years and earned a double major in chemistry and business.
He then graduated from Trinity University with an master of business administration degree in hospital administration. He was employed as hospital administrator at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
In 1979 he started Centre Court Homes.
In 2002, John lead the creation of a non-profit basketball program known as the Boerne Air for his son and other area children to grow up and develop their skills in his beloved sport. John committed his life to helping young basketball players strive to improve their skills and achieve their goals. This passion and care is what drove the team each year.
He is survived by his children Lisa Anne Hartig and Brett Justin Hartig; his ex-wife and friend, Janice Jordan; his sister, Lee Hartig Hoover; his nephew, Landis Joseph Hartig; his aunt, Ann Hannig; and countless young men and women whose lives he has touched.
After putting up his greatest fight of all against cancer, John peacefully passed on to God on Sept. 30, 2007, with children and family by his side. We wish to thank Dr. Brian Treuhaft, Dr. Vijay Gunuganti and Vitas Hospice.
Funeral services will be on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 11a.m. at Vaughan's Funeral Home. Interment will follow in the Boerne Cemetery.
