Dear Salgado Family:

My heart is broken for you.  Though I only met John twice with work, it was clear to me that he was a lovely man. He had an easy smile and a profound love for family. During our first meeting, he told me all about his trip to Greece with, Marietta, the love of his life.  

In his words, " It was a beautiful experience for Marietta and I. It afforded us to spend time together, after raising 4 children to the point they could spend a few weeks without us, to reconnect, unwind, and enjoy our beautiful relationship. "

Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day,
unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

May God bless you all.

In Loving Memory of John

Dear family,

Today we say goodbye with deep sorrow to a noble, generous, and kind-hearted man. John was not only an exemplary husband and father but also an inspiration to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His laughter, strength, and warm heart will forever remain in our memories.

To his beloved wife and children, I send you all my love and prayers. May you find comfort in the beautiful memories you shared and in the legacy of love and values that John has left in each of you.

May God give you strength during these difficult moments, and may John’s soul rest in peace, surrounded by eternal light.

Please accept my deepest sympathies for your loss,	Wishing you peace and comfort as you remember your loved one.  He was a great man and a dedicated professional coworker. His presence will be truly missed. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family during this time.
God is with you.

Dear Marietta and family, 
I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss! I know the pain you are experiencing as your Uncle Randy was 46 also when he passed.  The little time I had spent with John, he was always such a pleasant, sweet person and I so enjoyed my time with him. Hes one of those that will be so, so missed!!!. My love and prayers are with you and all the family. May Jehovah give all of you His peace 
and comfort through this hard time! I plan on being at the 
memorial.   ❤️Aunt Lori

Fly High, John – A Musical Tribute
In just two minutes of music, it carries a lifetime of wisdom, inspiration, and heartfelt gratitude. May this tribute serve as a small reflection of the profound legacy he left in each of us who had the honor to know him.

With deepest respect and sorrow — but above all, with thanks,

"As you listen, may your heart be filled with peace, knowing John is with Jehovah now."

To the Salgado Family,
With a heavy heart, I would like to extend my deepest condolences for the passing of John. His departure leaves an irreplaceable void—not only in the lives of his beloved family, but also in the hearts of all of us who had the privilege of knowing him, working alongside him, and learning from his remarkable example.
To me, John was much more than a boss. He was a true mentor. His integrity, vision, and leadership—always guided by humility and purpose—left a lasting impact on my life. He had an incredible ability to uplift, guide, and bring light to even the most challenging days.
I will always remember him as a man of deep faith, unwavering values, and heartfelt devotion to his family. His wisdom, his joyful spirit, and his strength of character will forever remain in my memory and continue to inspire me in everything I do.
Please know that I share in your grief with the utmost respect and affection. I pray that Jehovah grants you peace, comfort, and strength during this difficult time. May the beautiful legacy John leaves behind in his children, granddaughters, and in all of us who knew him be a guiding light and a lasting testimony of the extraordinary life he lived.
With heartfelt sorrow, but also deep gratitude for having known him,
—Marco Molina

John will be greatly missed as a special person as well as a colleague. His energy, positive outlook and his can do attitude will never be forgotten.  

Gone too soon.....may he rest in peace!

Bellos momentos que pasamos juntos sobrino dejas un vacío en el corazón de tus padres esposa hijos y en todos los que te conocimos y queremos vuela alto campeón , Jehová dará consuelo y resignación a tus seres queridos asta siempre Juanito que era como la familia salgado te llamaba tu abuela .. asta pronto

John was just one of those guys you always expected to see in the neighborhood. He always had a smile on his face, and a friendly greeting.

Every time I think of the shock of his passing, the thought of what his wife and family must be going through is humbling.

My God take him into his embrace.

My deepest condolences to the Salgado family. Johnny was a person full of joy although it’s been 23 years of not seeing him, I had a fond memory of him singing La cucaracha and me accidentally hitting him in the nose with a toy that followed by him blaming me for ruining his nose. May you rest in peace and may your family find the comfort in Jehova’s promise of paradise.

"I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words that can make this better, but I hope you can find some comfort in knowing that you are surrounded by people who care deeply for you and your family."
John will forever be remembered for his kindness, politeness, hard working and intelligence. John, was such an amazing person.
 I feel honored to have worked close with John. Always so full of ideas and always willing to teach and guide his coworkers. 
He always made time to listen and help in any way that he could. John made a difference in so many lives. The world has lost a good man and will always be remembered with respect and honor.
May he rest in peace!

I’m still in shock over the news about Johnny. It’s hard to believe, and even harder to accept. I had the chance to work with him and always admired the way he approached problems—with clarity, calm, and a kind of quiet brilliance that made a real difference.
Johnny was an absolute wizard with Excel—I’m still using some of the files he built over a year ago. They’re that good. That kind of impact doesn’t fade.
My heart goes out to his family and everyone who worked closely with him. This is a tough loss.
Take care,
Matt

Dear Salgado Family,

We are so very sorry for your loss. We offer our prayers and condolences. 

You will always have a warm place in our family's heart. When our family first starting attending meetings with West Riverview you welcomed us with open and hospitable arms. John leaves a wonderful legacy with his family. He may be resting but his smile will live on in our memories until we see him again in the new world.

We love you,
Hernandez Family,
Christopher, Heather, Lola, Chloe

When my wife and I moved to Riverview in 2016, we were assigned to Gray’s service group, along with John and his family. We were a small group that met at Alan Campbell’s home for field service. Often, just a few of us were out each weekend, so we worked together often. John was consistent, showing up regularly to support the group.

I’m sure many of John’s friends will remember fun camping trips and family outings. While I didn’t share in those particular activities with John, what I do remember are the many times I was asked to help someone move, assist before or after a storm, or help with a KH project—John was often there, usually with one or more of his sons. That spoke volumes about his character. It was clear he was trying to instill in them good values, and it was a quiet but powerful example of Christian generosity and hard work.

It’s heartbreaking to lose someone so young. The pain his family feels is certainly immense. But you are not alone—Jehovah sees, remembers, and deeply cares. He never intended for us to experience this kind of trauma, and He shares in your sorrow.

He longs to see John, Alan Campbell, John Gray, and so many other friends and loved ones—young and healthy again, waking from their sleep in a peaceful world. My wife and I pray that Jehovah’s promises strengthen your hearts, and that the memory of John’s zeal for the truth moves you forward until that joyful day when you can embrace him again in the new world.

—Hosea 13:14: “From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; from death I will recover them.”

My sincere condolences to the family. I did not know John very long, but what I saw in him was a very kind and loving person. I am so happy the he and I had a chance to work together in the field ministry. See you in paradise my dear brother.🙏

We love John and will miss him dearly!!  We pray for Jehovah's peace, comfort and endurance on the Salgado Family.  Condolences 💜 to his beloved wife Marietta Salgado. His four children: Marlaina, Johnny, Javian, and Joel. His  granddaughters, Ruzena and Eliska, and caring father-in-law to Tyler Smith.  We look forward to the wonderful provision of the resurrection, but more importantly, when ALL sicknesses pain and the last enemy death will be swallowed up forever.  God is faithful and merciful and is never unrighteous to forget the great love we showed for his powerful name.  See you soon again 💜

Marietta, 

It still seems so unreal. Words alone cannot express how sorry we are ! We love you both so much. One thing is for sure, John was and will always be one of the best.  His love for you was the most obvious. May Jehovah wrap his arms around you and the family and provide you with comfort and love., give you the strength to move on. John will always be in our memory and his name is written in Jehovah book. It is not a goodbye, it is we WILL see you later. Anything we can do please let us know. 

We love you all
Gina 🙏🏼❤️🌹

My deepest condolences to your family during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys.
Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
Your kindness, laughter, and presence will always live on in our hearts.
Rest in peace Johnny, Dios te bendiga SIEMPRE.

Sorry for your loss.  Praying for you that God will give you strength you need at this time.

Marietta,

I cannot imagine what you are going through but please know you are loved.

I am unsure I have ever seen a man look at his wife the way John looked at you, it was always obvious how much you two loved one another, and you still do.

Although your love is sleeping, your love goes on and my heart hurts for what you must be feeling but Jehovah loves you both, my sister, He will carry you through ❤️

Much love, 

~Nina

Marietta, 
Our hearts break for you and your family. In the short time that we were in the same congregation, we always remembered Johnny as being such a kind, friendly, down to earth person.  And even when Will would run into him over the years, he always enjoyed their interactions. We are praying for you and eagerly look forward to seeing your family reunited with him.

We pray that our Lord’s grace and comfort surround you and uphold you through this time of sorrow. May you find peace in the love that endures and the memories that will forever live on. John will always be remembered, deeply missed, and cherished by all whose lives he touched.

Sending you love, strength, and gentle prayers as you walk through this season of grief. Rest peacefully, John. Your light lives on.

i feel very sorry  and sympathize with the lost of a great leader at B&M Precision. He will be missed greatly

We pray that the grace and comfort of our Lord give you strength during this difficult time, John will be for ever remembered and for ever missed. Sending love and strength your way. 
Rest in peace.
