John Edward Titus Obituary
John was a proud member and trustee of First Baptist Church of Peaceful Valley. John was very proud to serve the Lord. He looked forward to going to church on Sunday Morning , Sunday night and Wednesday night. As the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:8, "We are confident I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." John we know you are present with the Lord and rejoicing in Heaven.
John is survived by his wife Janice, son Steven Titus (fiancé-Jenilyn Bartolo), daughter Britney Crump (Tiny), sister Laurie Veals (Marvin), Brothers Jim Titus (Pam) and Ken Titus (Susie) and numerous nieces and nephews. John was preceded in death by his parents Carl and Irma Titus, sister Julia Titus and in-laws Homer and Diane Blackwell.
John, you will always be loved and missed by your family and friends. Words will never be able to express the loss that we are all feeling at this time. We know we must keep our faith and our eyes upon the Lord during this most difficult time. We love you John and will wait each day to see you again.
John's Celebration of Life will be held Saturday May 2, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Peaceful Valley (7925 Fontaine Blvd, Colorado Springs, CO 80925) with Pastor Allen Payne officiating. John had a passion for the missionaries around the World spreading the Gospel. In Lieu of flowers, please make all donations to the First Baptist Church of Peaceful Valley Missionary Program.

John,
8 years.....how can it be that the last time I held your hand, told your I love you, looked at you with hope that this nightmare was only a nightmare. Well 8 years later I still live in the nightmare that I had to let you go home to be with the Lord. The last 8 years have not been easy without you to say the least. so much has happened, we have been blessed with 2 beautiful grandchildren that have never met you but love you dearly.
You took a part of me with you 8 years ago, with a hole that remains in my heart. One day I will be abe to look at you and tell you just how much I missed you and how thankful and blesed I was to have you as my husband for so so many wonderful years.
Until I join you in Heaven, I love you dearly today and forever. You are forever missed.
Love Janice

John,
Today 6 years ago at 5:41pm you went home to be with the Lord. 6 years later the pain is as real as the day I watched you take your final breath. My heart remains broken. I was reminded today when we were married and took our vows, I said I took you for better, for worse, through sickness and health till death do us part. Death parted us, although it didn’t take the title of me away as your wife. I will be your wife till I join you in Heaven and, I will love you each day as if you were here sitting by my side. I wish over and over you were here, although I know that wish is not going to be granted on this side of Heaven. I not only remember you today, I remember, everything about you everyday. Thank you for our amazing life together, the amazing husband and father you were and all the memories you left me to cherish! I love you always and forever!

John,
As I sit here tonight, I think how 6 years have passed without you here. Little did I know 6 years ago at this time I would only be able to hold your hand and tell you I love you for 15 more days on this side of Heaven. Almost 6 years later my heart is still broken with a deep hole that will never be mended. One day I will join you in Heaven and what a day that will be when until then I will continue to push forward. I just wish you could be here to have met our grand babies how you would of just spoiled them rotten, which is not hard to do... I kinda am doing it for the both of us. Just want you to know I love you so so so so much! I miss you!
Love Always,
Janice

John,
I miss you more and more as the days pass. I would of never dreamed you would of went home to be with the Lord at 53 years old. I will always miss you holding my hand and your wink. The love you showed me was truly one of a kind, the John and Janice love.
5 years have passed since you held your hand in mine. 5 years since I held your head with mine barried into you as you took your final breath on this side of Heaven. My heart beats with half a beat because the other half will always belong to you.
Until I join you, you will always be my one and only love. I will love you for the rest of my life....till death do us part....death hasn't taken me, but until then I will always be your wife.
I love you....words do no justice of how much I miss you.
Love Janice

John,
Another Christmas without you!! Words do not say enough of how I feel... how I miss you. The emptiness in my heart, the 1/2 of my heart you took with me when you took you last breath, the hole that remains. Sometimes that pain is unbearable. Trying to get through the day without you is such a task, not having you as my support system, to tell me quit worrying, its so so hard. I know you will enjoyj Christmas in Heaven with Jesus. I truly can't imagine what it is like. Just know as Christmas Day comes my heart will be empty without you out you. Your excitement when Christmas came after you had gotten one over me I will cherish those memories forever. I loved you before we were married, My love for you grew everyday for the 28 years we were able to share. My love, my heart will forever be yours until the day I walk through those pearly gates with you standing there waiting for me.
Love you always and forever,
Janice

Dear John
Another Thanksgiving has came and gone. Another year without you. I ask myself why did God take you and not me. You wouldof handed this so much better than I.our children was grown, we were suppose to grow old together. We had so many plans,yet they were no more in a blink of a eye. You always told me that you would hold my hand even if we were 80, and yet you went home to Heaven at 53 so young our dreams were taken and now I wonder how am I suppose to go on. You will be my only love till the day I join you in Heaven. Until then I love you...
Love always and forever,

Dear John,
I just can't believe its been 2 years that you went to be home with the Lord. John I died with you 2 years ago today, life will never be ok without you. I will never be able to express how much you meant to me and what a wonderful husband you were and always will be to me. Even though your not physically hear, you are and always will be my husband the one and only I will love. Death has separated us temporarily, one day I will join you in that mansion of ours that the Lord has promised us. I love you today and forever more. Love Always Janice
