John Allen Enloe

John Allen Enloe, 81 years old, passed away on February 18, 2025 at Southern Utah Veterans Home, after a quick bout of lung cancer.

John was born in Kenney, Illinois in 1943, and was raised on a farm in Owensville Missouri. He joined the Marines in 1964 and served as a Machine Gunner. They were “first boots on the ground” in Vietnam. They left Hawaii to come back to California, and when they got off the boat, they said “welcome to Vietnam”. He was awarded two purple hearts while on tour.

John moved to Wyoming in 1974 to become a millionaire, where he met his wife Diana. She had three kids, and he had three kids, and they said why knot? So we became the Brady Bunch. John worked hard to provide for his family, working in the coal mines as a heavy equipment mechanic, until he retired in 2005. His passion was gambling, playing blackjack specifically, watching his stock market and visiting anyone that had a minute to spare, and telling naughty jokes. 

He was survived by daughters Tammy (Billy) Myers, Tisha (Dean) Coffman, Melissa (Michael) Baca. His sons Steve (Monica) Baldwin and Doug (Jamie) Baldwin. 18 grandkids, and 27 great grandkids. His sisters, Mary (Jim) Hollandsworth and Mae (d. Ted) Davis. Multiple nieces, nephews, in-laws and outlaws. 

He was preceded in death by his parents, James and Viola Enloe, sons Tim and Shawn Enloe, wife Diana Enloe, grandson Jose Van Etten, brother Leroy (Sandy) Enloe, sister, Mable (Jack) Ferling, and niece Becky Jenkins.
