John Plutt Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Nov. 22, 2013.
John D. Plutt, 56, passed away November 22, 2013 after a short, valiant battle with Leukemia. He was born December 8, 1956 in Pueblo to John W. and Helen Plutt. He graduated in 1975 from Central High School and in 1979 from the University of Southern Colorado. At the time of his death, John was employed by Colorado Bingo. He is survived by his children, Cassey Plutt (Eric Henderson), Henderson, Nevada, and Tiffany, Mariah, and Kason Plutt of Colorado Springs; sister, Debbie (John) Anderson, Trinidad, CO; niece, nephew, cousins, and a host of dear friends. John was the cornerstone of his family, which was the most important thing in his life. Holiday celebrations were always long and happy times. He was the strength in every crisis and the light in every storm. He taught his family honesty, responsibility, and humility. No greater gifts could he have given. We will miss his laugh, his wicked sense of humor and the twinkle in his eyes. Special thanks to his friends at Colorado Bingo, the staff at St. Mary-Corwin 4700 and ICU, and all of his doctors, especially Dr. Pacheco. A Memorial Mass will be held at 10 a.m., (Eulogy 9:45 a.m.), Monday, November 25, 2013 at St. Francis Xavier Church. In lieu of flowers, donations in John's memory may be made to the charity of your choice. Online condolences at www.georgemccarthyfuneralhome.com.

To John's family and friends,

Please accept my deepest sympathies and know that John touched me deeply. This was not only during our Pull-Tab transactions [American Legion Post 39 Finance Officer], but during the painful loss of my home to the Waldo Canyon Fire. What a wonderful human. He always had the right things to say. He had a contagious smile and laugh. Our world is better because John was here. I am blessed to have been lucky enough to have crossed paths with him and I will truly miss him.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

To John's Family and Friends-
I am so sad to hear of John's illness and passing. I have such fond memories of John's incredible wit and humor from my days at the Red Barn! I can still see that twinkle in his eye in this picture. RIP John

To John's family and friends,

We are very sad to hear of John's passing. I had lost touch with John over the years, however we were good high school friends. He was a good student and well liked by all. John was a person with a strong work ethic. We (and several other friends) started working at the Red Barn flipping burgers when we turned 16. We had talked about becoming entrepreneurs before that was vogue. John took that career path.

John and I shared a high school book locker. Something made me mad, for the life of me I can't remember what it was about, but I took all his brand new pencils and broke them as a result. John would always remind me that I broke all his new pencils. All conversations after started with the broken pencil story.

Hearing of John's passing is a shock as he was too young. My wife Dianne and I are sorry we won't be attending his funeral as time and weather is not permitting. We do send our deepest sympathies to all John's family and friends.

With sympathy,
Ken and Dianne Danti
