After June finished the 8th grade at Eastside Christian School, he quit school to help on the family farm. At age 18, he was drafted into the US Army during WWII. After bootcamp, he was sent to Japan just as they had surrendered the war. While there, he worked to restore communication lines. Upon returning and spending some time working, he found the love of his life NellaMae (Mic) Vanderheide in McBain, Michigan. They were married June 17,1949 at her parents' home in McBain.
In 1954, June and Mic purchased what is now known as Ellens Equipment. Through hard work, diligence, and wise business decisions, they built a one tractor operation into a thriving business. While working to build a business that would support his family, he successfully raised 6 children and contributed to his community. He served many terms on Calvin Christian Reformed Church's council, and served a number of years on McBain Northern Michigan Christian School's board of directors. He loved the school and was passionate about Christian education. He was a member of the Gideons and enjoyed passing out Bibles on school campuses. In his retirement years, he remained busy trucking equipment all over Michigan and nearby states for Ellens Equipment and loved every minute of it.
June loved his God, his family, the great outdoors, hunting, fishing, reading, spending time with grandchildren and great-grandchildren, driving truck, and meeting new people. He was a great mentor to his sons and many grandsons in the art of proper gun use and hunting. He taught them the fine art of hunting deer and rabbits. He also enjoyed hunting bear with his wife Mic.
He is survived by his children; Julane (Roland) Lamkin of McBain, Dale (Patricia) Ellens of Rock Valley, la, Dennis Ellens, Donald (Linda) Ellens, Dewey (Janette) Ellens all of McBain, 19 Grandchildren; Bradley (Rachel) Lamkin, Ronelle (Matt) Caskey, Holly (Casey) Sigafoose, Abbey (Shaun) Harris, Zan Lamkin, Kate (Jamin) VerVelde, Laura Ellens, Mark (Kelsey) Ellens, Tom (April) Ellens, Joshua (Carmen) Ellens, Lindsey (Greg) Elsholz, Marni (Adam) Quist, Kaci Jo Ellens, Nicole (Aaron) Koetje, Luke Ellens, Derek (Charlotte) Ellens, Ryan (Andrea) Ellens, Kyle (Stacy) Ellens, Kade Ellens, 18 great-grandchildren, brothers J Harold (Mary Jo) Ellens, David (MaryJane) Ellens, sisters, Virginia (Bob) DeHaan, Hazel (Glen) Kuyper, sister-in- law Greta Vanderheide, and many other relatives.
