John Duane Moody

To all the Moody Family especially to Andy Rubio We’re so sorry for your loss may God give you peace and to your mom My Prayer’s are with you.

My thoughts are with DeWitt Family & all of John’s family. He left a beautiful legacy in his lovely family. Wishing peace to all who loved John.

The power of a dad in a child’s life is unmatched. Quote, “Dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, story-tellers and singers of song” My Dad was my hero, he was a perfectionist, he was perfect to me, he was seldom wrong. My Dad influenced me to become the person I am Taught me not to lie or make fun of another He taught me what true love is by the way he loved my mother He could find a fix to any circumstance He was my first date and first dance He taught me to drive, told me go slow, said if it didn’t start on the first try I wasn’t allowed to go. Ha! He had lots of toys ATVs, dune buggies. Sand rails, Rhino, fishing boat,, motorcycle, his big red truck and canoe He appreciated nature, every flower, plant animal and tree, he knew. Loved to travel, Atlanta, UtaH, San Jose, Hawaii, Puerto Rico,, Missouri, California, wyoming, Nevada, Colorado, Lake Powell, Aruba Snow skiing, fishing, tubing, bike rides, car rides, lakeside picnics and scuba Listening to Stories, roasting marshmallows by campfire, kick the can in the Hansens apple orchard,Campground movies and riding horses Quick responses with his sarcastic sense of humor An honorable father, he always made right choices Our patriarch, our leader, wise and respected always felt his love, always safe and protected…… And when I looked in his eyes and said with sweet and sincere I promised to love his red truck, to cherish it, wash and wax it and treat it with care I always got the “look” he would say nothing just stare. (Don’t laugh Dad!) We went camping in the forest, by streams and the beach He took me to Broadway musicals He taught me Delta Utah makes the best cheese He always stood up for his principals He made believe I could fix anything. If he could do it I could too! Planted beautiful flowers every year, me too! I watched him Fixed his own cars. Me too! His sarcastic sarcastic sense of humor well ya…me too! Often of late he would approach me with tears in his eyes, he would hug me crying and start confessing His emotions overwhelming. How he loved Mom and loved his family. After 90 years there was no question. The love of a family is a life’s greatest blessing.

I have such fond memories of John Moody, he had a wonderful sense of humor and was so kind to me as a teenager. I spent many hours with Lisa his oldest daughter, who was a dear friend, he was always so supportive and helped us with our plans such as camping in the Superstitions and getting a surprise rain storm in the middle of the night. Kay, Lisa, Jan, Brent and Andrea I am praying for your family. May the good memories of your father, who was such a wonderful gentleman, help you during this time of loss.

it’s a sad event and it’s important to grieve but there’s also a positive side to everything as well. Grandpa is gonna look after grandma in ways now nobody can, he’s not restricted to his physical body anymore. He may not be there to hold her hand anymore but I promise you at all times he will be holding on to her heart. He will forever be her guardian angel especially now being right there with God in heaven at his side.

I’ve known John for many years! He was my Science Teacher at Hohokam , in my ward at church. He always had a great sense of humor! Great Man!
