John Timothy Eller, son of James and Patricia (Cole) Eller, was born May 15, 1967, in Kansas City, Mo.

John Eller spent most of his time as a youth in southwest Iowa, in the towns of Blockton and Lenox.

At the age of 18, John moved with the Eller family to Fort Worth, Texas.

In Texas, John was a house framer for several years, before picking up his father's trade of house painting and drywall repair. John took great pride in his work and had very high standards for his quality of work.

John took interest and was genuinely concerned about others. He enjoyed sharing his life lessons with others and always used himself as an example. John's often zany personality and laugh allowed him to connect with people instantly.

John was very knowledgeable. He liked math and science as well as fishing and hunting. He was an encyclopedia when it came to guns.

John was a good friend to everyone he knew. He attended Winterset Community Church.

John was loved by many and will be missed by all.

John was preceded in death by his mother, Patricia Ann Eller.

Eller; brother, Jim Eller and Lisa Rodriguez (Jessica, Billy, Joey, Ally, Robert); brother, Michael Eller (Bailey); niece and spouse, Micheala and Joe Allsup (Lexi, Blake, Mara, Makenzi, Journey, Teagen); niece and spouse, Betsy and Scott Zetterberg (Quenton, Harli, Lydia, Lyla); niece, Rachel Eller (Wesley, Alivia, Chloe, AJ).
