John Charles Staley

John Charles Staley, Sr., 65, passed away on February 8, 2018 in Boise Idaho, in his home surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with Glioblastoma.

Born March 16, 1952 in Redwood City, California, he was the son of Josiah and Phyllis Staley. John played baseball and graduated from the University of Nevada Reno, and later received his masters degree from Biola University with his son John Staley Jr. John considered this to be one of the most treasured experiences of his life.

John was married to his high school sweetheart, Pauletta Staley, for 43 years. John and Pauletta raised their family in Fallbrook, California. John was successful in the health food industry for over 40 years because of the deep lifelong relationships he developed. John is described by his family and friends as a lover of God, kind and encouraging, intentional, wrapped with unconditional love. John was a "Family Man" first, businessman second.

John lived out his convictions on a daily basis, which is why he was so respected.

John loved introducing himself "I am known as John 3:16" because of his name and birthday.

John is survived by his wife, Pauletta and his three children, Tiffany Morse (Randall), John Jr. Staley (Julianna), Kami Sutter (Matthew); his seven grandchildren, Jacob, Jaden, Joshua, Heleina, Ethan, Aubrey, and Sophia.

John's celebration of life will be on Sunday, February 25, 2018 at 2 p.m. at Foothills Christian Church, 9655 W. State Street, Boise, ID 83714.
