John David Doolin

John David Doolin October 17, 1973 – March 19, 2025 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John David Doolin, age 51, of Gilbert, Arizona, on March 19, 2025.

John was born on October 17, 1973, in Ashland, Kentucky, to Patricia and Charles Doolin. He graduated from Ashland Paul Blazer High School and attended The University of Kentucky before moving to Arizona in 1995. In Arizona, John found his calling as a mortgage broker, a career he continued with passion and dedication until his passing.

John’s life was filled with love, laughter, and many passions. He was a dedicated husband to his wife, Deadra, and a loving father to their children, Maddox and Capri. John was a true sports fanatic, with a lifelong love for Kentucky basketball and the Phoenix Suns that he shared with his son, Maddox. His love for music was boundless, and he particularly cherished seeing live performances with Deadra, often supporting jam bands like Widespread Panic. But most of all John loved watching Capri pursue her passion for dance and traveling with his family creating memories that will forever live in the hearts of those who knew him.

John was not only a loving family man but also a loyal and devoted friend. He built lasting relationships with those around him, always ready to lend a hand or share in the joys of life. John remained close to his buddies from childhood in Kentucky, his college friends from Arizona State, and the many other friends he made throughout his life, never letting distance or time diminish the bonds he held dear. His genuine care for his friends was evident in the way he prioritized time spent with them, whether it was cheering on his favorite sports teams, enjoying a concert, or just sharing a meal with them. John is survived by his wife, Deadra; children, Maddox and Capri; parents, Patricia and Charles; and his sister, Shannon Doolin Hofstetter. He is deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.”

A celebration of John’s life will be held on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Gilbert Memorial Park, 2100 E Queen Creek Rd, Gilbert, Arizona 85297.
