John Foss

John Allen Foss, age 28, passed away on Friday, Oct. 9, 2015, at his home. John was born Dec. 14, 1987, in Mountain Home and had lived there up until the time of his death.

John had a great love of the outdoors and spent time teaching rock climbing and kayaking with a youth program and often did construction work with his Uncle Bob. John could always be counted on to lend a hand when someone needed help.

Spending time at home, playing pool with his friends, John could always be found with a smile on his face. John considered himself a master of video games and loved to play as often as he could. Basketball was something John enjoyed and played with a cousin who also enjoys the sport.

John is survived by his parents, Douglas J. Foss of Mountain Home; Kimberly Billinger and her husband, Tom of Mountain Home; as well as many uncles, aunts and cousins, all who love and will miss him very much.

John was preceded in death by his grandparents, Conrad C. and Majella L. Foss; Roy A. and Evelyn M. Dutton; his brother, William D. Foss; an aunt, Anne L. Butler (Foss); and his cousin, Christy A. Taylor.

There will be a service at Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church on Friday, Oct. 16, 2015, at 11 a.m. with a light luncheon after the service. Cremation was under the direction of Rost Funeral Home, McMurtrey Chapel, in Mountain Home.
