John Ferris

John A. “Jack” Ferris, 81, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, October 31, 2020. Jack was born in Orange, New Jersey on April 8, 1939 to Dona Mitcheltree and John Ferris. He was the youngest of 2 children. His love and passion for cars started early on in his life when he was gifted a 1956 corvette that he restored and still owns today. He went on to restore many other cars during his life and made a career in the auto industry. He worked for GM for 30 years in the service department and retired at an early age. This gave him time to enjoy his hobby of restoring cars. He later went back to work at Arapahoe Community College working with young students in the automotive department. He was a member of the Crown Victoria Association for over 40 years and traveled across the country to car conventions every summer with his family. Jack is survived by his beloved wife of 45 years, Kathy, children Jack, Julie (Mac), Jen (Ben), and Kim (Eric); grandchildren April, Courtney, Ashlie, Samantha, Brynn, Drew, Mae, and Jack; 3 great-grandchildren, his sister Susan (Kel), and nieces and nephews. A service will be held in early 2021.
