John A Folsom

John was born May 2, 1967 in La Ferté -Chevresis, France. He and his family moved to the United States in 1972 and John eventually found home in Colorado Springs in 1987 where he lived out the rest of his life. He worked as a safety manager at Scott’s Company in Fountain, Colorado.

He is survived by his wife, Kimberly and their daughters Jamie and Rebecca; his father Richard Folsom and many close friends. He is preceded in death by his mother, Gina Folsom.

John’s favorite times were spent with family and friends. The annual cutting of the Christmas tree, trying on all the silly costumes during Halloween, Friday night dinners with the family laughing so hard we would cry, working in the shop till the early morning hours or spending the weekend at the race track were only a few of the special times we can all cherish. He leaves behind so many memories filled with kindness and laughter. John could always make you smile. His passions included motorcycles, going fast and anything for an adrenaline rush; Fast by Folsom was more than just a title. As John would say, he was either in the shop or out at the track riding a bike.There is no doubt he will be missed by so many.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 3:30 p.m., Thursday, July 30, at St. Raphael’s Episcopal Church, 802 Leta Drive, Security, Colorado.

In lieu of flowers, a college fund has been established for Jamie and Rebecca.
