John was a devoted family man who has left a legacy of love through his children. Whether as a reservist in the Army, providing for his family, or solving problems for others, he selflessly did his duty while taking delight in small things and finding joy in all circumstances. He was a playful father and grandfather who created laughter from nowhere with invented games or (usually corny dad) jokes. He had a strong and quiet faith in Jesus that profoundly changed his life as an adult and brightened the world of everyone around him. John deeply loved his family, his country, and a handful of hobbies that he enthusiastically shared with anyone around him, including logic puzzles, maps, golf, shooting, and apple fritters. He is greatly missed and his memory will continue to be a blessing to his wife Pam Uribarri, children, grandchildren, and siblings:
