55, of Santa Barbara, CA, passed away on June 23, 2013.
John was born on January 3, 1958 and was born and raised in Santa Barbara. He worked for the Goleta Union School District for 20+ years. He was a wonderful man who impacted many people’s lives and left people with many memories. He enjoyed the outdoors, biking, jogging, music, dancing, a good time, but most of all he loved his family. His family meant everything to him. He was a loving and devoted father, grandfather, and brother. He was a great man and was always the life of the party and this world will not be the same without him and he will certainly be missed. John was preceded in death by his parents Guadalupe and Esther Medina. John left many loved ones including his two daughters, Lesley and Amy Medina; his grandchildren Jullian and Leah Ramirez; his longtime girlfriend Ruth Hernandez; brothers George, Guadalupe, David, Frank, Philipe, and Hector Medina; sisters Martha, Rosa, Estela, Yolanda, Gloria, Tere, Lupita and Claudia; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
