The door and window industry is coming together to support longtime industry professional Jon Hauberg, director of product research and development for Deceuninck North America. In addition to thoughts and prayers, the support arrives via a GoFundMe campaign established by Deceuninck, following a life-altering accident leading to months of surgeries, rehabilitation and ongoing medical care. The campaign was established to help Hauberg, and his family, amid his ongoing recovery.
Hauberg has spent more than 35 years with Deceuninck, where colleagues know him for his innovation, mentorship and technical expertise. Outside of work, he is described as an avid cyclist, outdoorsman, musician and community volunteer. Just one week before his accident, he completed a 326-mile bike ride across Ohio.
“Jon has been a key figure in our industry for years. He is a brilliant engineer and innovator,” said [DWM] blogger Ray Garries, who previously worked with Hauberg. “That tragic accident came out of the blue and they need some help.”
According to the GoFundMe page, Hauberg suffered a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple skull fractures after a fall in October 2025. Since then, he has undergone emergency brain surgery, additional procedures, lengthy hospitalizations and intensive rehabilitation. He continues to require extensive therapy and assistance with daily activities while working toward regaining strength and independence, the page notes. The fundraiser also notes that his wife, Deb, was diagnosed with breast cancer during his recovery, while serving as his primary caregiver, now undergoing her own treatment. Organizers said funds raised will help offset ongoing medical expenses, rehabilitation, caregiving support, specialized transportation and other costs associated with Hauberg’s recovery.
“Jon has made a meaningful impact on colleagues, customers and partners throughout the industry. We believe sharing his story could help rally the broader building products community around someone who has given so much to it,” said Diane Hansbury, senior marketing manager for Deceuninck North America.
