Jan Jaspers-Fayer, former Idyllwild resident and lifelong artist, passed of natural causes on Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2019.
He died peacefully in San Pedro with his family by his side. Jan was 90 years young. Jan and his wife, Elisabeth (deceased 2014), were active members in the Idyllwild community.
They were involved in many organizations including The Rotary Club of Idyllwild, Idyllwild Arts Academy/ISOMATA, Art Alliance of Idyllwild, Idyllwild Garden Club and the Idyllwild Area Historical Society. Jan’s spirit lives on in his art, which can be seen throughout the town.
