John Draper Obituary
1982-2019
John operated and repaired complex mechanical computer driven machinery. He commercially fished the Bering Sea, drilled for gold in Alaska, was a heavy equipment operator, built and installed cabinets and granite countertops.
He was an independent thrill seeker who lived life on the edge. A blue eyed charmer with a wicked sense of humor, a gentle concern for others, and a passion for cooking.
He is survived by his mother Cheryl Heath, father Kent Draper (Teresa), sister Casie Draper, soul mate Kelley Draper, children Jayden 16, Jalayna 11, Kailyn 7, and stepsons Anthony and Austin Murdock.
As we learn to navigate life without you, we will pray for your transformation from pain, to thriving inner growth and wisdom.
Please give yourself the gift of peace in this new dimension.
Please join us at for a viewing and funeral service at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park on Thursday, May 23, at 11:30 am. Interment and dedication of the grave at 2:00 pm will follow.
In lieu of flowers, a Go Fund Me account has been set up.

Can't even express how sorry I am for your loss. Even though I believe in my heart that John is in a better place, I know how hard it must be and how much he'll be missed. My thoughts and prayers, along with those of my family, are and will be with you through this difficult time. Please let me know how I can help. Love you both! xo/Wende

Very sorry for your loss.Your tears are not unnoticed by the Most High God in heaven. May you be comforted by the scriptural thoughts at Psalm 121. There you will find assurance of God's love and support for you.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your love one. May your prayers bring the comfort you need in this difficult time. Be confident that God is moved with compassion and understands your grief.
May Psalm 121 also bring you comfort.
