As of December 15,
2022, Johanas “John”
Hoffman, of Colorado,
passed away from
congestive heart failure at
the hospital. He was 83.
He was raised in Oregon. John grew up as a hardworking country boy on a ranch with his parents, 2
sisters, and one brother, and with a strong work ethic
that he carried with him through his life.
After he left the army, he eventually started a career
at Oral-B in Iowa City, Iowa, as a tool and die maker
and he was able to make precision products for 32 years.
He was regarded as exemplary by management. As the
years went by, his passions were his love for hunting,
the outdoors, ballroom dancing, football, and breakfast
with his buddies.
John was disciplined, outgoing, loving, and a
supportive husband and stepfather. He loved his family
and friends deeply and was there for them. One of his
closest friends Mike had this to say about John. “John
was there for me as an exemplary friend. If I needed
anything, he helped me, especially in my later years.”
“He was a wonderful provider and an invaluable
husband and best friend and I will dearly miss him.”
John was predeceased by his parents, John Hoffman
Sr. and Anna Pancratz Hoffman, his sisters, Augusta
Hoffman and Marie Hasley, and his brother, Paul
Hoffman. John leaves behind his wife, Margot, his
stepson, Jaimie Gargas, and his beloved nieces and
nephew; Roxanne Reed, Richard Reed, and Rona Hug,
who John felt were more like his children.
Most everyone that knew John felt his outstanding
quality was asking excellent questions. He had joy in
his voice even when he wasn’t feeling well.
Funeral services will be held in Lacona, Iowa,
pending a March date.
