John was born October 2, 1936 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado to John Emory and Dora Lucretia Lusk. He was raised in Steamboat where he was a state wrestling champion. John met and married Jewell DeVoe in California in 1961. They moved their family to Sunray, Texas where they doubled the population. John was a hard worker, having to work multiple jobs and passing his work ethic down to his children. He shocked this little town of Sunray with his big stature, riding a motorcycle, wearing his earrings, his long hair and those big blue eyes. John cherished time elk hunting with his Dad and riding his motorcycles. He loved life, his kids and watching the kids play their many sports. One of his best qualities was that he would help anyone in need. John left his legacy that will live on through many generations. He was preceded in death by a wife, Jewell DeVoe Lusk; two daughters, Coni Saldana and Gigi Lusk and three grandchildren, Stefanie Amason, Kasandra Guist and Teague Lusk.
