John passed away October 4, 2013.
He was born on April 6, 1937, the twelfth child of thirteen to Ambrose and Lillie Green of Vernon, UT.
John worked hard and played hard. He enjoyed boating, riding snowmobiles and four-wheelers. After retiring from Metal Fabrication, he started a hobby (second career) of restoring tractors and took his restoration as seriously as he had his company. John loved a challenge, especially when he was told it couldn't be done. John was a man of few words who helped many.
He is survived by his daughters Carla Beckstead and Kellie Kennard; grandchildren Jared (Sara), Michelle (Tony) and Rachel (Michael); great-grandchildren Tesai, Sophie, Sadie and Graham; sisters Maralyn Murray, Pat Lasiter and Maryann Peterson.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, October 11th from 6:00 until 8:00 PM at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City, where complimentary valet parking will be provided on the north side of the building.
