Name: John Joseph Percin, Jr.

Date of Birth: November 11, 1988

John loved us and his beautiful English Lab, Champ, more than anything in the world. Johns honesty and loyalty guided him every step of the way, and that honesty and loyalty will continue to touch many forever. Johns smile, kindness, and warm embrace were unmatched. We are so deeply proud and thankful to call him our brother and son. All of those who knew John feel exactly the same way. John is forever grateful for the love and support of the Prescott, Arizona community, a tightknit place where he bettered himself, a place he proudly called home. He was forever touched by the love of his friends at the Chapter Five Recovery Center, and he was equally touched by the love of his brothers in the Granite Mountain Hotshots. John's passion for life was deep, and he approached every day with optimism and excitement. John was truly at peace when he was out enjoying the beauty of life. He shined in everything he did, but his true passions were hiking, basketball, and family. John is a hero who made us all so very proud. And he and his brothers will never be forgotten.
