John was born in Denver, Colorado to Sylvester and Dorothy Badding. He spent most of his early years on the Badding Farm before moving to Fort Lupton. He graduated from Fort Lupton High School in 1978.
After graduation, John dedicated his life to helping his father on the family farm. He also did side jobs like helping his parents at the Sale Barn in Thornton, Colorado, he also drove a school bus for Weld County in Keenesburg, Colorado, he deiced airplanes out at Denver International Airport, and worked with Glover's Drilling when needed in Fort Lupton, Colorado.
John loved the land and the cattle. That was his life. He loved spending time in the mountains, hunting, and exploring. He loved going to the drag races at Bandimere Speedway and spending time with his grandchildren going to all their school events. He also loved spending time at his cabin in Hartsel, Colorado.
John is survived by his loving wife of 29 years Susan Gooden Badding, his daughter Sheila Badding Thompson and her husband Wess Thompson and their sons Colton and Justin, two stepchildren Jessican Anderson and her husband John Anderson, and their 3 children Konner, Dixie, and Caleb, Joshua Barlow and his two children Jackson and Willow.
He is also survived by his one brother David Badding, and three sisters Betty Shafer (Tom Shafer), Mary Sisneros (Danny Sisneros Sr.), and Frances (Fran) Deaguero. He is also survived by many nephews and nieces, also great nieces and nephews.
He was proceeded in death by both of his parents, his son John Jr., his brother-in-law Joseph Deaguero, and his nephew Tommy Shafer.
The family is asking that everyone dress casual for the services. Anyone who is able, please bring side dishes for the Luncheon, as it will be potluck style.

John is the truest and most honest person I know .
Both John and little John loved their perfectly simple farm life and I admired them for this .
I feel very fortunate to have known ,work with and shared time with this family.
I will so miss the out of the blue "Beam Me Up Scotty " phone calls I would get from John .
Never Forget You John

I have fond memories of John coming to Quickset Auto Glass for his windshields and talking of farming, kids and other things. I am very saddened by this news and wish to give my deepest sympathy to the family.
