John Raymond Hoover, age 62, passed away on May 15, 2023, at Allen County Hospital in Iola, Kansas.
John was born to Edward Raymond and Patty Jean (Tate) Hoover on March 8, 1961, in France.
John grew up a military brat with his brother Joe and sister Carolyn, moving to many different cities and states. John never had a hard time making friends due to his friendly/mischievous personality in the moves. After high school, John was united in marriage for 14 years to Kimberley (Davis). They were blessed with four children. John spent a majority of his life in Arizona with his family. John's career path consisted of being a CNC machinist making high grade aircraft and mechanic parts. Everyone at John's work loved and treated him as a part of their family.
While in Arizona John met many of his lifelong friends. John enjoyed riding his horse Chicky, and many other outdoor activities. Later in life, John enjoyed riding motorcycles, including being a very active member of several different HOG chapters. John participated in many biker fundraisers such as Bikers Against Child Abuse, Toys for Tots, and many other charitable events. One of John's favorite memories was riding his motorcycle with his buddy Steve across the country.
John was a family man and loved spending time with his family. After medically retiring he moved to Oklahoma to be closer to his children and grandchildren. John loved and adored his grandchildren and spending time with them brought so much joy to his life.
John was preceded in death by his grandparents and his brother Joe Hoover.
