The man. The myth. The Legend. John Edward Maynes, 65, went to be with our Lord on October 30, 2016.
John was born on January 14, 1951 in Santa Clara, CA to Arthur Maynes and Lupe Villa. He is survived by his loving wife Nancy of Tucson, AZ; Mother Lupe Saenz of Deming, NM; Two daughters, Heather and husband Alex Tapia of Tucson, AZ; Daughter Cynthia Maynes of Yucaipa, CA; Five sons, John Maynes Jr and wife Marcy of Yucaipa, CA; Richard Maynes of Riverside, CA; Cameron Maynes and wife Kristen of Bullhead city, AZ; Arthur Maynes of Tucson, AZ; Matthew Maynes and wife Lauren of Tucson, AZ; Four brothers, Frank maynes and wife Nannette of Tucson, AZ; Alfred Maynes and wife Joanne of Tucson, AZ; Jim Maynes and wife Vivian of Los Angeles, CA; Tony Maynes and wife Martha of Phoenix, AZ; And numerous nieces and nephews. He is returning to his father, Arturo; two brothers, Mike and Gilbert; one sister, Sylvia; wife, Diana; Great friend, Richard aka "Pichardo" Gonzales.
When most Americans were trying to dodge the Vietnam War, Johnny was enlisting as a Marine Corps Scout Sniper where he earned many Awards and Medals. Johnny was a man of honor, a beloved father, brother, son, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. He served his country with honor and made his family proud. His son, Richard followed his footsteps and joined the military to be just like his hero. Johnny enjoyed nothing more than celebrating life each and every day with his family. There are countless stories and memories of Johnny that will live on in our hearts forever. You could say he was the most interesting man in the world! What we will miss most about him are his famous quotes that always made you laugh. "I accept this award!" "Hi I'm Johnny Maynes" and never call him grandpa in front of chicks! His memory will live on forever and as Johnny would say, " Stay thirsty my friends."
Cheers to a life well lived! Visitation will be on Thursday, November 10, 2016 from 4-6pm at Terrazas Funeral Chapels with the holy rosary beginning at 6pm with Eugene Munoz officiating.
Funeral mass will be on Friday, November 11, 2016 at 10am at St. Ann Catholic Church with Father, Arthur Francis MacDonald officiating and Deacon, Bill Holguin. Concluding services with an interment will be at Mountain View Cemetery with full military honors.
