He was an avid KSL shopper. Always looking for a good deal. J.H. loved the great outdoors.
J.H. held a special place in his heart for his beloved dogs Yikes and new dog Benson.
J.H. is survived by his wife Paula and step boys Parker and Carson, parents Marinus and Sharon, sisters Kimberly (Lee) and Tiffany (Mark), brother Brian (Lex), nephews Bryce, Ethan, Holland, Sebastian, Aiden and his nieces Courtney and Megan (Matt).
