JOHN EATON, a loving husband, father, and grandfather, waited until just after his 67th birthday before passing away on September 30 during a short hospitalization.
John was born in Nebraska, and grew up with his parents and 3 siblings in Arvada, Colorado.
He loved to go fishing, hunting & camping in the mountains, and could fix anything that was broken.
After moving to Arizona in 2007, he spent his free time lounging next to the backyard pool & playing with his dog. John retired from the US Postal Service in early 2024.
John will be remembered for his devotion to his family and his good sense of humor. Among those left to mourn him are his bride of 44 years, Twyla, his daughters Savannah (Michael) Hanson of Gilbert, AZ, and Amanda (David) White of Rio Rancho, NM, and his grandson, Santos; he was very proud of them all.
John left this world way too young, and he will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.
Per his wishes, his ashes will be scattered in the Colorado mountains at a later date.

Our prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I will also keep John in my prayers so that he may be received into Heaven. Please let us know when you come to Colorado.
Our sympathy to John’s family for losing him at such a young age. Sending healing thoughts to you.
Our deepest sympathies to Twyla, Amanda, and Savannah as well as their families. This was such a shock to lose John at such a young age and so quickly. Our hearts and prayers are with you all.
Twyla, our love for you and the girls, now as in the past will not waiver. John was a great guy and a great brother. We spent a lot of time hunting and fishing while he was here in Arvada and it will be hard not to call or text him up to chat. Many was the times that he either got me into trouble or got me out of it. LOL
Prayers for you all. Love you
