Mohave Daily News, Mohave Valley, AZ - Published in Mohave Daily News Online from March 22 to March 29, 2012 - John DenBleyker, age 57, 4-year resident of Bullhead City, Ariz., entered into Heaven at his home on Saturday, February 25, 2012. He was born in Patterson, N.J., to John and Dorothy DenBleyker. John was the fifth of eleven children, and lived most of his life in southern California. John married Patricia Belknap in September, 1982, but separated a few years later. They were separated for over 20 years, and then reunited, renewing their vows in 2008. For the last four years of John's life, he was a born again Christian, and loved Jesus with all his heart. He was a great friend to all who knew him, and was loved and respected by many. He will truly be missed, but we know we will be reunited together in Heaven. He was preceded in death by his father, John DenBleyker, and grandson Matthew Kern. He was a devoted husband to Patricia; a loving father to Melissa Kern and Shara Salcido; and a doting grandfather to Megan, Mason and Michael Kern, and Beatriz and Patricia Salcido. A service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 24, 2012, at Calvary Chapel of Bullhead City, with his beloved Pastor, Chuck Kelly officiating.
