John J. Marlor
1918 ~ 2007
1918 ~ 2007
John K. Marlor and I first met in 1989. We have been on many great adventures together and we have shared a almost two decade obsession for playing video games with, and against, each other. The one time John was actually beating me at Super Mario Cart he had a heart attack.
Over the years I was fortunate enough to also get to know John's mom, dad, children, girlfriends, and pound puppies.
John's father was given an honorable discharge after eight months of service in the Army so he could enlist into the Army Air Corps during the second world war to serve as a plane mechanic.
John J. passed into eternity just hours before his wife Ruth's birthday so he could give her an early birthday present.
John Junior Marlor was also a life long Republican.
He will be missed.
John J. Marlor, 88 passed away August 6, 2007 in Salt Lake City, UT from incidents resulting from a stroke.He was born in Magna, UT on December 21, 1918 to John and Eunice V. Marlor. Served in the Army Air Corps during World War II. Married Ruth Louise Kinney in Salt Lake City, UT on September 14, 1946.
John worked for John Deere for 17 years and then for Arnold Machinery until retirement. Volunteered at the LeeKay Center (Division of Wildlife Resources) giving over 10,000 hours in volunteer service. He was an avid outdoorsman especially when it came to fishing. He loved a great cup of coffee in the morning and an even better Scotch in the evening.
John is survived by his son, John K., Salt Lake; daughter Tammy Fife (Ken), Sandy; sisters Vivian Jacobsen, Helper; Jean Hunt, Kearns, and Beverly Elmen, Kearns; grandson Jason J. Marlor, Pennsylvania, and granddaughter Jamie N. Marlor, Maryland. Preceded in death by brother Keith, and wife, Ruth.

Services will be held Friday August 10th 2007 at 2 p.m. Graveside tribute immediately after services.
