John Overturf Obituary

Hard to believe it has been just over ten years. Gone to soon.

So many memories of John. This cold weather brings one to mind....Cindy and I were probably in HS. We were with John driving around one cold and snowy day in, I think, John's Golden Eagle Jeep. We were in the parking lot across the street from East Jr. High. Some car was doing donuts in the snow - maybe 2 revolutions. Well, John couldn't have that. He had to show him how it was really done. He put the jeep in 4-wheel drive and proceeded to do John Overturf's version of how donuts should really be done. He must have spun around 7 or 8 times. He had a great laugh when he would do things like that!
My sincere thoughts go out to the Overturf and Wilson families.

Julie, Sorry to hear about John. Our Hearts & Prayers go out to you, Bobby & Grant and your family.
Love, Mark, Heidi, Alexandra, & Julianna

I just heard about your loss and my heart goes out to everyone in the family. I worked with John at the Bank and will never forget is ever ready smile and good humor. He will be missed. May your memories give you comfort during this difficult time.

I have such fond memories of our Kent Lane days growing up with John and Cindy. Hide-n-seek, kickball, four-square, roller skating, jacks, jumprope, sardines, forts, "clubs", basketball, army men...we were always outside, we played til dark every day we could...I will miss John but am glad he was part of my youth. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Julie: We have no words to express our sadness for you & the boys. You & John have always been such a source of strength & friendship for our Chris & Lisa thru the years. If we can be of any help to you now or in the future, you have only to contact us. Love & prayers, Bev & Dave Huffman

I have fond memories of John - all the neighborhood kids playing TAG, Monopoly, and building carnivals. Then in college, I would eat in the dorm with my "little bro". Prayers and love to you all.

Dr. and Mrs. Overturf, may the peace that passes all understanding be present in you/ for you during this time of change and transition.
Many blessings to you all!
Sincerely,
De Bora

Although the distance between us has limited our contact through the years, John, and indeed the rest of you, will always be a part of me.
