John Neyts, beloved Husband, Dad, Brother, and Papa, passed away peacefully on August 20, 2025 surrounded by family after a valiant fight with cancer. John was born to Peter and Kryna Neyts on August 13, 1946 in the Netherlands.
John and his family immigrated to America in 1957. John grew up in Ogden, Utah where he met and married the love of his life, Kathy Toone. Kathy and John celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary this year on June 5th. John and Kathy have 2 children, Eric (Judy) Neyts and Amy (Kevin) Tate. They have 7 grandchildren: Sommer Butler, Madison Phelps, JT Pattillo, Samuel Neyts, Jack Neyts, Taylor Tate and Tyson Tate. They also have 3 wonderful grandchildren.
After working in sales for many years, John became an entrepreneur and created his own business, JN Sales. In retirement, John enjoyed many hobbies, as he loved to keep busy. He enjoyed making stained glass, model trains, golf, photography and home projects. He loved spending time with his kids and grandkids and great grandchildren, who all called him "Papa".
John was preceded in death by his parents, Pete and Kryna Neyts.
Our heartfelt gratitude for the endocrinology team at Ogden Regional Hospital. A special thank you to Karen, for your personal support.
In our Hearts always. We will never forget your love and legacy!
