John is survived by his wife Kathy (Kat) of 47 years, six children, six grandchildren, three great grandchildren and one sister Patsy N. Hood Jeffress of Westcliffe Colorado.

He was devoted husband and loving father to his children and grandchildren. Always sharing stories of their adventures and accomplishments with others.

John P. Hood and Lela A. Scott Hood his parents, as well as two brothers Bruce L. Hood and James D. Hood preceded him in death.

John was born in Monticello, Arkansas but moved to Oklahoma as a toddler.  At 14 years of age he moved with his family to Littleton Colorado in 1958 where he attended public school before joining the Navy.  After serving his country he worked in the Pipe and Steel Industry thus retiring after 36 years with Marmon Keystone as Operations Manager.

He was the most devoted fan of the Oklahoma University Sooners football program, never missing a broadcast while wearing his OU sweatshirt. He loved the Denver Broncos most of the time. Camping with his family in the beautiful areas of Colorado was a great love. Taking trips on his BMW 1200 motorcycle was another one of the many adventures John enjoyed through out his life. His greatest joy was telling jokes and stories friends and family members who have passed on. He loved spending time with his children and Kat.

John will be dearly missed by many life long friends but mostly by his beloved family.
