John David Hovey
May 5, 1959 - June 22, 2025
John David Hovey (JD) entered into his Heavenly home on June 22, 2025 surrounded by his family. Born on May 5, 1959 in Auburn, CA; JD grew up moving throughout the country.
In 1983 he met his beautiful wife, Vicki Smart. They were married on February 10, 1984 in Dalhart, TX. The Hoveys began their family in Dalhart, TX with their son Bobby Hovey. Later they would add Crystal to their family. In 1987 the family moved to Delta, CO where Cameron and Tori were added to complete their family of six.
JD was a jack of all trades and able to do just about anything! He was known by his family to enjoy fishing, the great outdoors, camping, hunting, riding his motorcycles until he was not able to do those any longer. There was never a wrestling match that JD didn't enjoy and the family learned to be as quiet as church mice while the smack down was on. JD loved going for coffee every single day with his wife Vicki.
JD is preceded in death by his mother, Wanda Hill and father, Charles Hovey.
He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Vicki Hovey of Delta, CO; son, Bobby Hovey and wife, Shelly of Delta; daughter, Crystal Sharkey of Delta; son, Cameron Hovey of Cortez, CO; daughter, Tori Hovey of Delta; grandchildren, Riley Avila, Keegan Sharkey, Cerenity Sharkey, Zenara Hovey, Ravyn Hovey, Michelle Ingram, Leilani Russling; and great-grandaughter, Brynleigh Tolka; his brother, Rick Hovey; brother, Chucky Hovey; brother, Raymond Hovey; sister, Deborah Hovey; sister, Vicki Hornbaker.
JD was loved very much and will truly be missed.
A service to honor the life of JD Hovey will be at 2 p.m. on Friday, June 27 at Harvest Community Church in Olathe, CO with Reverend Joel Arrington officiating.
