John (Johnny) Hilsinger of Spring Valley, Ariz., born March 11, 1957, in Johnson City, N.Y., to George and Gloria Hilsinger, lost his battle with cancer on Sept. 20, 2007. He was 50 years old.

Johnny grew up in Phoenix, Ariz., with his sister Sally and brother Robert. He was married for a brief time and had two sons, Kody and Kyle. He married Cari Woods in 1992 and shortly after moved his wife and son Brian to the Mayer area, where his only daughter Brandi was born in 1996.

Johnny worked as a superintendent for the Local 408 Carpenters Union. He was also an EMT and for a brief time worked as a reserve firelighter for the Mayer Fire District. His free spirit took him from racing cars and motorcycles to bull riding to coaching his son's Little League games.
