1979 ~ 2004
Our beloved husband, son, brother, and friend, John Lucien Moss Shoemaker, age 24, of Bountiful, Utah, was taken home to his Heavenly Father August 4, 2004 as result of an automobile accident.
He was married to Valerie Ann Johnson, Dec. 4, 2003 in the LDS Mount Timpanogas Temple in American Fork, Utah. His wonderful smile and warm sense of humor will be greatly missed.
Lucien was born August 13, 1979 in Warrenton, Virginia to John R. Shoemaker, of Culpeper, Virginia and Donna H. Shoemaker, of Shepherdstown, West Virginia. He graduated from Spotsylvania High School in 1997. During high school he was part of the Civil Air Patrol and also served on the Search And Rescue team with his father. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1998-2000 in Leon, Mexico. He was enrolled in the Global Aviation program at Utah Valley State College and was working towards his commercial pilot's license. He served as the assistant executive secretary for the Kimball Mill LDS ward.
Lucien had a child-like fascination for the simple things in life. He loved star-gazing, cloud watching, golfing, fishing, and playing strategic games like RISK, Monopoly, Paintball, and Cops & Robbers. Flying airplanes was his passion from an early age. Above all else he loved Valerie; he was honored by her acceptance of his proposal of marriage (both times). Besides cherishing every moment they spent together, Lucien and Valerie enjoyed flying kites, hiking and sharing their lives with one another.
Lucien never met a stranger; he had a special talent for making friends.
His family wishes to thank the many friends from work, church and school who have contacted them with expressions of comfort and offerings of assistance.
He is survived by his wife, Valerie, his parents: John and Donna; sisters: Hilarie and Rebecca Shoemaker; parents-in-law: Wallace and Alice Johnson and their family, as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, across the country and his maternal grandmother, Stasia Heard and paternal grandfather, Philip Shoemaker.
Viewings will be from 6 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, August 8 at the Russon Brothers Mortuary, 295 N. Main Street, Bountiful, UT and preceding the funeral from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Kimball Mill Ward Building at 650 S. 200 E. in Bountiful. Funeral services begin at 11:00, interment at the Memorial Estates Cemetery, 1640 E. Lakeview Dr., Bountiful. In lieu of flowers, donations will be kindly accepted.
