John Wayne DuBois, age 69, died Dec. 3, 2015, at Woodland Park Care Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, after a car accident left him fighting every day to come home after three months shy of two years. John was born Oct. 29, 1946, in Portland, Oregon, to Hubert and Pearl DuBois. He was the youngest of five children. There was Alice, Don, Hughie, Doris and then Wayne, as his siblings called him. In 1980, he met the love of his life, Andrea Medrano, and they were married July 10. He cherished his family and children Angela and Brent Valdez, David DuBois, and youngest daughter Cindy Medrano. They were his whole world until his grandchildren came along: Travis Johnson, Trevor Johnson and his little shadow, Jessica Johnson. John was a veteran of the Vietnam War and worked for the Tooele Army Depot as a medic until he retired in 2009. During all his time here in Grantsville, he was very active in the VFW, where he held all positions from treasurer to Post Commander before it recently disbanded. He was always the man everyone could count on to always be there to help with anything, be it someone who was broken down on the side of the road or any of his nieces or nephews! He was always there and unforgettable! A celebration of his wonderful life will be Thursday, Dec. 10, 2015, at the LDS church (428 Hale St., Grantsville, Utah). There will be a viewing from 10:30-11:30 a.m. and services at noon with a luncheon following the graveside service at the church with an open mic for all the great stories of Daddy! Services entrusted with Didericksen Memorial, 435-277-0050.
