John George Kaldes, beloved husband, father and grandfather, passed
away Jan. 5, 2018, in Cottonwood, Arizona.

A resident of Cottonwood, and formerly Inwood, WV, he was born June
9, 1956, son of the late George Kaldes and Pandora Kaldes Cavanaugh
of Berkeley Springs, WV, who survives him.

He was a master finisher for Western Heritage Furniture in Jerome,
at Hill Enterprises in Maryland, and as a self-employed refinisher
and marbleizing specialist. His work is featured in prominent
Washington, D.C. law firms and U.S. government offices. He was an
avid Harley-Davidson owner and rider, and was well-known for his
devotion to family and friends.

“He was a leader, not a follower,” says his son, Nicholas, who grew
up in Inwood and formerly resided in Jerome.

John is survived by his loving wife, Susan, of Cottonwood; and his
son, Nicholas George Kaldes and daughter-in-law, Rachel, and
granddaughter, Angelina Marie Elaine, of Hagerstown, MD; as well as
his sisters, Deni Kaldes, of Jerome, and Paula Diatsintos and Joanne
Simpson; brothers, Robert Cavanaugh and Steve Kaldes; as well as
many nieces, nephews, and Susan’s children and grandchildren, who
also adored him.
