A proud graduate of Woodsboro High School, class of 2003, John went on to earn his associate's degree in business from Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Texas. On October 14, 2017, he married the love of his life, Cynthia Arredondo. John worked as a dedicated Rental Fleet Inspector at Holt Cat in Corpus Christi, Texas. He was a light to all who worked with him, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he encountered.
Above all, John was a devoted husband, father, son, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend. He cherished the moments spent with his loved ones, and his laughter and joy will forever echo in their hearts. John had a love for life's simple pleasures—whether it was losing himself in a video game, watching his favorite movies and shows, or fishing on peaceful waters. He will be deeply missed, and his spirit will live on in the memories and hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
John was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Guadalupe and Elda Arredondo; his maternal grandmother, Lucia “Lucy” Alarcon; his sister, Ilene Nicole Arredondo McKelvey; his uncle, Guadalupe Arredondo Jr.; and his aunt, Maria Deleon.
