John Eidson Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 1, 2025.
John Gary Eidson, a beloved father, brother, son, friend, rocker and creative soul, passed away on July 25 2025, at the age of 55. John was born and raised in Tucson, and spent the majority of his adult life in Scottsdale, Arizona.
John was a man of many passions - a lifelong lover of graphic novels, scary movies and a wide variety of different art styles. He also had an enthusiastic love of music, ranging from heavy metal to classic rock to the newest alternative bands.
Known for his quick wit and warm sense of humor, John had a way of making people laugh even on their hardest days. He also loved animals, and was a great chicken and dog dad.
But above all, John was a devoted father whose love and support never wavered. He leaves behind his two beautiful daughters, Jayde and Reidon. John is also survived by his domestic partner Tracy, as well as his brothers Brian and Herb and his father Sam. John leaves us with a legacy of laughter, and a deep love that will live on in the lives of those who knew him.
He will be deeply missed.
