John Dean Laverdure went to be with the Creator on January 14, 2023.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Angel Garfield; his first wife, who he loved also, Danielle Margie Delorme; his mother, Esther (King) Yellow Owl; brothers, Pat and Emile Laverdure; sisters, Robin and Tanya White Hawk, and Karen Yellow Owl, and his stepson, Carter Lilley.

He loved to help people and give to the people, even if he went without. He loved spending time with family and friends, telling stories, watching scary movies, and digging roots. He loved spending time with Steve drinking coffee and going for rides to make sure everyone was happy and taken care of, and that everything was on the right path. He loved cooking, making soup and bread but hated cleaning. His hobby was firefighting and going places. He loved talking about the mountains to anyone that would take the time to listen. That’s how he made his money for 18 years, he fought fires. He loved life and worked very hard to make everyday count. Thank you for being apart of all our lives and we will be forever grateful knowing you’re not hurting anymore. We love you dad with all our hearts, that you for being the best #1 dad. Gone but never forgotten.
