Heaven welcomed a new card player June 4, 2026 when John Waters joined the game. There is no doubt the card game just became a little more rambunctious. John is survived by his two children, Jill and Greg (Jen) and three grandchildren Thomas, Aurora and Megan, and his brothers, David and Bill.
A loving father and grandfather, he will be missed by many. Faith always came first, then his family, traveling, and sports. Traveling will never be the same without the do everything at the last possible minute travel partner, and the local sports teams just lost a big fan, card games just got a little quieter.
John was the second youngest of 7 children, born in Iowa. He married the love of his life JoAnn in 1966, moved to Colorado in 1972.
