John Shadoan Obituary

John Alphonsus Shadoan

1950-2021

West Valley City UT—John passed away December 27, 2021 from a recent onset of illness and complications that followed. John narrowly survived a car accident in his early twenties. This led to unique challenges and disabilities he would face for the rest of his life. Despite these disadvantages, he worked as a custodian and lived his life fully to the best of his abilities. He never married or had children but remained close to his family; all of which are deeply saddened by his passing. John was kind, thoughtful and selfless. His interests included music, cars and the outdoors. He especially loved sports and had an impressive collection of baseball caps.

His laughter and smile are unforgettable. John will always remain in our prayers, thoughts and memories. A private family service was held in his honor.

I knew John many moons ago. My family owned the Paramount-Murray laundry in Murray and John toiled for us in the late sixties to early seventies. He was a good employee, a solid citizen and we shared many laughs together. May he rest in peace.
