They were preparing for a move to Abu Dhabi in August. John was a journeyman electrician, a certified EMT and award winning photographer who loved flying, traveling, hunting and archery. He was a member of Ruidoso Lodge 73 and also a dual member of Dona Ana Daylight Lodge 78 in Las Cruces and the Scottish Rite of Las Cruces.
