John Franklin “Bj” Aman, 74, of Lincoln, Nebraska passed away August 9, 2023. Born August 13, 1948, in Quincy, Illinois to B. Rex and Agnes (Gumbel) Aman.

John was a retired founding partner of the law firm, Aman & Aman Attorneys at Law, where he devoted himself to leaving a lasting positive impact on his clients’ lives. He attended the University of Texas, University of North Texas, Doane College, and graduated from the University of Nebraska College of Law. He was a member of the Alpha Phi Omega, Alpha Rho, and Gamma Rho Fraternities.

John was a member of St. Teresa’s Catholic Church and active in the Lincoln Elks Lodge #80 where he held many positions over the years, including that of Exalted Ruler. A trustee and talented amateur chef, John was famous for his St. Patty’s Day feast. He also enjoyed fishing, camping, and serving as a canoe guide in the Boundary Waters of northeastern Minnesota.

John had an extensive construction background and was proud of the old houses he refurbished.
