John Albert Winegar was born to Rex and Susan Winegar in Weiser, Idaho on June 27, 1964. He grew up on Rex's dairy farm with his older brother Bruce, little sisters Gwen and Robin, and little brother Steve. John loved farming and tractors from a young age.

While attending Rick's College John married his sweetheart DeAna Yearsley on August 18, 1987 in the Idaho Falls Temple. They farmed together in Weiser and were blessed with 3 children, Afton, Orin, and Lee. John loved his life on the farm and his family. He loved to serve his fellow man and spent much of his time doing so.
On August 22, 2022, at the age of 58, John was in a tractor accident on his farm. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident. John was lovingly laid to rest on the hill above his beloved farm in the Winegar Family Cemetery on August 26, 2022.

We just learned about John. Our hearts are broken. We bought our hay from him every year, so kind and generous. The world is a lesser place without him, but Heaven is richer for him. God bless his family at this time.

I was numb when I receive the news of the accident. We were on the phone together almost weekly. He was a respected and loved volunteer at the Snake River Correctional Institution and will be greatly missed.
It wasn´t to long ago he exercised his priesthood and gave me a priesthood blessing which was greatly appreciated. I loved your husband, father and son, he was a true disciple of Jesus Christ.
You have been and will continue to be in our prayers asking for your strength, peace and comfort.
God bless you as you move forward in your lives.

I graduated with John and remember he was such a kind and friendly person. My heart goes out to you all over this tragic loss. I believe John farmed my parents land on Smith Lane for many years, and possibly still was. Please know that you are being prayed over continually through your grief and healing.

To the Winegar family, I am so sorry to hear about John's passing. I was a classmate of his, graduated with him. I remember John being a kind, very polite, and a quiet young man. Everyone in our class liked John because of his kindness to everyone. My heart is breaking right now. I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with each of you. May God be with you through this tough time. God Bless.
