Percin Jr., a member of the Granite Mountain Hotshot, died a hero, protecting the lives of others on June 30, 2013 in Yarnell, Ariz. John was born Nov. 3, 1988 and grew up in West Linn. He was a gifted athlete and played a variety of sports, including football and golf, but his first love was basketball. He also loved

hiking and the outdoors, and dedicated much of his free time lending a helping hand to his neighbors, friends and family. In September 2010, John moved to Prescott, Ariz. in an effort to move his life forward; he wanted his life to make a difference. Many in the Prescott community were touched by his compassion and his innate desire to help others. Because of his hard work and focused goals, John achieved his dream of becoming a member of the elite firefighter group called the Granite Mountain Hotshots. John’s courage and strength were an inspiration. His laugh was unforgettable, as was his passion for life. He died battling the Yarnell wildfire alongside 18 members of his elite crew. He will always be remembered for his bravery. John is survived by his father and mother, John and Mary Percin of West Linn; brothers, Robert and Matthew; grandparents, Patricia Percin and Richard and Shirley Moore; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to 100 Club of Arizona, in memory of Granite Mountain Hotshots, 5033 North 19th Avenue, Suite 123, Phoenix, AZ 85015.
