John Ross Seely Obituary

 John Ross Seely, 66, of Nephi, Utah passed away Saturday, August 17, 2013 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. He was born on November 7, 1946, the oldest of four brothers to John Rayner and Virginia Vance Seely in Provo, Utah.

He grew up in Mt Pleasant, attending school in the Sanpete County schools. His family later moved to Blanding, Utah where he attended San Juan High School and loved sports. John also attended CSU and Utah Tech College. He entered the US Army from 1964-1966 in Germany receiving an Honorable Discharge. He spent most of his career in the Trucking Industry. He married Joanne Somers June 29, 1968; their marriage was later solemnized in the Manti Temple.
He is survived by his wife, Joanne; sons Justin D. (Stacy) and Jeffrey R. (Trinity) Seely. Grandchildren: Ashton, Addison, Aiden, Kathryn, Wyatt, Tap and Samuel. Brothers include Robert R., Vance L., and Casey D. along with numerous nieces and nephews.

I had the opportunity to visit with John (Johny Ross) a couple of years before he died. 

 He had brought his grandmother Ina Morgan over to Mt. Pleasant for a funeral. He told me he missed all of his classmates here in Mt. Pleasant and he asked about many of them.

His father insisted they were going to move to
Blanding against the wishes of the family.

He had spent most of his working career as a truck driver but had to give it up because of
his failing eyesight. Kathy
