He worked in casinos in Hawthorne, Winnemucca, Reno and West Wendover, Nevada as a craps dealer and pit boss. John enjoyed a nice cold beer and a hot slot machine! His favorite sports teams were whichever team won the last leg of a parlay. John loved to travel with his family (especially to the Oregon Coast) and spending time with his grandchildren.
John is survived by his wife, Mary Kinzie, his children Jill Grant (Ray), Sam Kinzie (Yesenia), Michael Kinzie (Lorena) and his ten grandchildren, Ashley, Jason, Christian, Kylee, Armando, Jesus, Kaleb, Lexy, Alfonso and Nataly.
He is preceded in death by both parents, his brother Doug, Sister Joanne, and brothers-in-law Larry Tregellas and George French.
A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.
