A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, April 5, 2024, at 11:00 AM, with a visitation from 9:30-10:45 AM, at St. Michael Catholic Church (16400 Duluth Avenue SE) in Prior Lake. Father Tom Walker will preside, and John will be laid to rest at St. Michael Catholic Cemetery.
John was born to parents Joseph and Margaret Davis on August 30, 1942 in Minneapolis. He was the second child of four. Growing up he played in every sport he could be involved in. He graduated from South High and then attended the Minnesota School of Business.
John did accounting for several companies before becoming the manager of Minnesota Marble and Terrazzo Distribution Company. He managed most of the company by himself! Not too long after he started his professional career, he met his future wife Jan.
John and his wife Jan, who he would proudly share 60 years of marriage with, were married at St. Albert Church in Minneapolis. Several years later, they moved to Prior Lake, MN, with their children, Todd, Kim, Mark, and Michelle. As a family John loved to share cross country road trips and camping adventures with them. John also enjoyed coaching all his children’s sporting activities.
In his later years he became a grandpa and found a great love for it. Family and faith were the biggest aspects of his life and it truly showed. He loved to spend time up at his son’s cabin, have bbqs, play cribbage, and of course, golf with his buddies.
A true, honest and humble man who will be forever remembered by his wife, Jan Legut; children, Todd Legut, Kim Legut, Mark Legut, Michelle Brooks; 12 grandchildren, Ashley, Jordan, Jacob, Mario, Tony, James, Joey, Amanda, Joseph, Johnathon, Josh, Jessica; 10 great-grandchildren; sister, Marge Davis, sisters-in-law, Joyce and Cherie, Theresa and Phyllis; and many other loving relatives and friends.
John is greeted in Heaven by his parents; brothers, Michael and David; brothers-in-law, Paul and Arlan; son-in-law, Jeff Brooks.
