January 31, 1954 – June 11, 2024
John Winston, age 70, made his transition on June 11, 2024, in his hometown of Park City, Utah. He was born in Saco, Maine, and is survived by his brother Tom Winston (Cathy) of Orrington, Maine, sister Jean Donald (Bill) of Viera, FL, sister Mary (Bailey) Deveneau (Michael) of Viera, FL, and his many nieces and nephews.
During the 50 years John spent in his beloved Park City, he worked as a bartender and taxi driver and eventually owned his own painting company. John was a talented guitarist with his own rock and roll band, Johnny and the Rockers. John’s passions were skiing (he was proud that he had 50 season passes at Park City), golf, the desert of southern Utah, and his family.
John had a special place in the hearts of many in Park City, many of whose children affectionately called him Uncle John. His gentle nature and warm smile always brought joy and laughter to their lives. John was an even-tempered, kind soul who left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
John’s life will be celebrated in Park City in July. We invite you to share your condolences and inquire about the date of his celebration. Your support and presence would mean a lot to his family. Please reach out to us at marydeveneau@gmail.com.
