John Aldrich Obituary
John Aldrich, 51, beloved Brother, Son, Father, and Uncle, was called to his eternal resting place on May 25, 2025. He entered this world on June 1, 1973 in Oklahoma City, OK, born to John and Lynda Aldrich.
He is survived by his sister Cindy Haupt; daughter Melanie Aldrich; nephew Braden Servais; niece Morgan Servais
John was very talented at carpentry and mechanics. He was always fixing things, repurposing stuff he'd find and making it cool and beautiful. In his younger years he has lived in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Washington. He later got his CDL and really enjoyed traveling around the country. But, his favorite place to be was with the person that he loved the most in the world, his daughter, Melanie.
He was mischievous and fun! He loved to ride motorcycles, go boating, and go snow skiing. He was such a rascal that he wrapped his niece and nephew's presents in socks one year, and then another year he welded a metal bow around them. They were impossible to open! He had a heart of gold and kept everyone laughing throughout his life. He gave so much love to all of us. He was always trying to help everyone. The world has been so lucky to have his light with us. We will miss him deeply, but we know in his next chapter, he'll have peace, and will live forever in our hearts.
"Everything is going to be quite all right I've got one hand in my pocket and the other is giving a peace sign" just like he would do. WE LOVE YOU!!!
