PRICE - Loving husband, father and friend to all who knew him, John Arthur Craven was relieved from his earthly limitations on Sept. 23, 2006 to join family and friends who went before him into his Father's heavenly arms.
Born Aug. 23, 1927 in Provo to Ken and Grace Bowen Craven. Moved to Price in February 1951. Married Rose Oliveto June 21, 1952. For the next 54 years, John was an icon and fixture in Carbon County owning first "Johnny's '66, Mendenhall Auto Parts and then Craven's NAPA Auto Parts before retiring in 2001. He was a lifetime supporter of the Jaycees, honorary life member of the Elks, College of Eastern Utah, and numerous other civic and community organizations always working to make Carbon County a better place to raise a family.
Small in stature but huge in heart, John was known throughout Price for his quick wit, friendly smile and generous manor, also as much as for his occasional off-color jokes which he loved so much. His passing will leave a hole in the very fabric of this small and close-knit community. He will be missed by all who loved him, and forgotten by none who met him. During his illness John often said, "I don't want anyone to cry when I'm gone. Just have a party and tell jokes to remember me." That is what those of us left behind ask of you!
John is survived by wife, Rose Oliveto Craven; three children, Arthur John and Vickie Craven, Louis Kenneth Craven; Jayceen and Brad Walker; nine grandchildren, Cory, Ryan, Ann Marie, David, Cristy, Louis, Cozette, Sierra and Savannah; and a community of friends.
Funeral Mass Thursday, Sept. 28, 10 a.m., at Notre Dame de Lourdes Catholic Church. Vigil service Wednesday evening, 7 p.m., at Mitchell Funeral Home. Family will be at Mitchell's Wednesday and Thursday one hour prior to service. Interment, Price City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers the family suggests contributions to the Notre Dame Building Fund, 160 North Carbon Ave., Price, UT 84501
John Arthur Craven, beloved husband, loving father and irreplaceable friend; "Ya done good Dad."
