life story

In loving memory of John

John Grover was born to parents Nancy and Robert Grover on August 6, 1964 Minneapolis, Minnesota and passed away October 11, 2013 at his home in Austin, Colorado. John went to high school in Rockford Minnesota and graduated from Buffalo High School. He worked as a blueprint engineer at a Minneapolis based engineering supply firm, as a mechanic at John Deere and in operations at the Duluth shelter. He enjoyed boating, water skiing, snowmobiling, and motorcycling. He loved learning about and working on all things mechanical. He had particular interest in trains, planes and Great Lake ships which he spent time studying

John loved spending time at the cabin in Brule Wisconsin on the south shore of Lake Superior and the Nebagamon river. When John married Tina Pramann, their wedding was celebrated on the banks of the Nebagamon river. Although they chose to later end their marriage, they remained friends and in close contact until the time of John's death. He was drawn to the big lake and lived on the north shore in Duluth Minnesota for several years. In 1998 John moved to Colorado to be near his Mother and sisters. While living in Colorado John volunteered his time to the Obama Presidential campaign which brought him great satisfaction. John loved his cat Chloe and often spoke about her antics
