John Marin Abeyta

Johnny Ray was a special man, always caring for others than himself. He took great pride in his family, whether it was for babysitting, or going to a game for his grandkids. One time he said to us that he had 3 different games in one day, but planned on taking in each grandchild's game. Our daughter was on hospice, and he never failed to visit her because he said she was family to him. God Bless you John, we will miss you! Johnny, Leah and family, please accept our heartfelt sympathies!

In this day and age when newspapers are rare and obits are missed. I want to apologize to the Abeyta family for missing the service of my childhood friend Johnny. He was the funnest and coolest cat on the block. My deepest condolences... Willie

Losing my dear cousin Johnny has been a punch to the gut. To his children and grand children I too feel your pain and grieve beside you. Being an only son and growing up in Tucson my fondest childhood memories include spending summers and weekends with the Abeyta boys, the brothers I never had. One thing I´ll always be grateful to Johnny for is how he inspired me to become a drummer. In fact for several years he lent me his old drum set to practice on. Throughout my life I had the privilege...

God has called you home Primo! May you rest in peace!

We were introduced many years ago and we continued our friendship by choice. He was a lover of freedom,clown-y,energy and adventurous .He shared a zest for life.! John had a special ability where he could turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary one with his infectious laughter. He had a compassion for others. He was always there with a smile and a hug. He could be in pain, but he never wore it on his face, he would focus on the lighter side of things and be optimistic. John thought...
