John Arnold Heuvelman, III

I cannot understate the influence that John had on my life. I had moved to Tucson in the mid 70’s. The romance that took me there cooled down, yet I loved the city and Arizona. The recreational opportunities were wonderful and different than New Mexico. The people who lived there were friendly, and John was so kind. He was so willing to show me the things he enjoyed. I had never considered being a ski instructor. How fun that was to do with him, and to spend time at the cabin at Mt Lemmon. The quail hunting was great, The tubing on the Gila at Winkleman was a whole new thrill. There were the trips to Las Conchas. Meeting Rosa, sharing BBQ shrimp, margaritas and the Sea of Cortez. They were among the best years of my life. The best of it was John’s kindness. He gave me lessons in character, and a blend of work and play that put me on a path of happiness for the rest of my life. You will be missed my dear friend. Mark Maynard

John was a great friend to us. His kindness and gentle words will be missed but not forgotten. One of our last outings was a music promotion for one of John's favorite local musicians at the Maverick. Always inviting and accommodating to his friends and always the organizer of bringing friends together. We had many great get togethers because of John. John loved bringing people together. His love of family, his wife Rose and son Jason were clearly visible to us all. We will miss you John. May God bless you. Your friend, Karen (Gene) Mejia, and family.

What a gift to have known John – a generous friend, a sly interlocutor, a great teller of tales from his adventurous life. Dave got to know John through a network of hikers and campers, sharing gorgeous sunny days and rain-drenched campsites. Through Dave, Lis met both John and Rosa and so many others as John stitched together friendships grounded in his many passions. A life lived large, full of love and curiosity and joy. Our condolences to Rosa and Jason for their great loss. Dave and Lis

I’ve known John as long as I can remember. Even when my family moved away for a bit, I still remember we never missed a dinner all together when we would come back into town. I have great memories of summer camp at the racquet club and listening to my dad, John, and Jon talk about their tennis matches that day- there was obviously a lot of friendly competition. From trips Mexico and up to Mt. Lemmon, to get togethers, John, Rosa, and Jason have always been family. When John met my future husband, Tommy, they quickly formed a friendship (as I think was typical of anyone who met him). Tommy even ended up getting the same Master’s degree, which I know was influenced in part by John (and Jon M.). My new in-laws also quickly came to love John, Rosa, and Jason, which meant I got to spend even more time with all of my family together. I am so thankful for all of the holidays we’ve spent together over the years and recently. I feel so blessed to have had John in my life. I’ll miss his laugh, and his stories, and the comfort he provided (knowing exactly what to say, or what story to share when I was missing my dad). I already miss him so much, but I know he’s still with all of us in our hearts and in spirit.

To my dearest husband John, One of the best things I did in life, was when I gave my heart to you and a vow until death do us part. The last few days have been a time of reflection. Looking at the many pictures, through many tears and smiles, I am able to relive our wonderful life together. I can see in the pictures, your passion for adventure, friendship, and utmost family. You introduced me to many new adventures, some of which I would have been too afraid to try on my own. We went to so many places and met so many wonderful people. He had small and big parties with our friends. You were always prepared to try new food and restaurants. One of the things I will cherish most is when I danced with you. Thank you for being so positive, secure, protective, and loving during our life together. You gave me the greatest gift ever…our son Jason. I known I am going to be alright because he is like you in many ways. We were all blessed to have you in our lives. I will love you forever. Rosa

I miss his smile and I miss his laugh.

My most sincere condolences to Rosita, Jason, and family. Although I did not know John personally, I knew through my dear friend Rosa, he was a great father and husband. May John rest in peace.

My sadness losing a great friend will be exceeded by my warm and longstanding memories of him. John was a good friend and a great man. His understanding of situations and people gave me insights into life. He educated me and influenced me without knowing he did. My greatest sympathy to Rosa, Jason and all his family and friends who share this loss.

“Hey BC (this was John’s nickname for me), let’s get together”. John was always reaching out to connect with people. “Let’s go skiing, go to a football game, go to a basketball game, or let’s just talk and catch up”. I have many happy memories of doing those things with John. John always exuded love and respect to others. John was someone who always made you feel good about yourself. He was a truly caring and compassionate man, which made him an excellent therapist. He always presented with a sense of humility that extended a sense of comfort to others. He also had a wry sense of humor accompanied by an impish smile which allowed him to be appropriately confrontative when he needed to be. John participated for years in a therapist group that I lead that focused on employing innovative techniques including biofeedback. I’m aware that he was also involved in other groups (such as a meditation group) around town. John was never on the sidelines but rather was always involved in a wide variety of activities. John was a friend and colleague who I will always remember and dearly miss.

So sad to know John's gone and that we'll no longer have the pleasure of his friendship. He was a generous man who participated in life to the fullest. Such an inclusive loving soul, he always had a kind, empowering word to say. We will especially miss his infectious laughter, genuine interest, fun filled invitations, and nurturing spirit. Cynthia and I feel so thankful to have known him, one of our first friends after moving to Tucson. Our time with John was short, but meaningful. We will always cherish him in our hearts, Dave and Cynthia.

I had the good fortune to meet John through Rosa. Through the years he and I had many great conversations about our shared love of the outdoors and reading. We could talk for a long time about these topics and did so on many occasions. I will always remember and cherish these times that we talked and laughed.

John, Our Friend. Our family met John in the 90's. John was Rosa's husband whom I met when I worked security as a police officer for Dillard's at El Con. Rosa is a friendly person who would always engage in conversation during my boring Monday night shifts. John I met when they invited several friends to their Mount Lemon cabin. Quickly I found out that John was a magnetic personality who would become a presence in friendship to all of us. Over the years we were graced with invites to Shakira concerts and annual family dinners hosted by John and Rosa. I became a good friend of John. Basketball, Football invites to U of A games became a great routine over the years. Not two weeks ago John called to remind me that I was his call to games when Jason could not attend. He also reminded me that he had not forgotten about lasagna dinner we had invited him to recently but due to his recovery was unable to attend. Diehard Wildcat fan, alumni, and former athlete along with a diploma to prove his lifelong connection to the U of A was John's legacy. But to many he was a great friend who's first question was "How are you doing?". Johns kindness, caring and helping nature were his unforgettable trait. John helped many through the hardest times, counseled, carefully suggested positive directions to better people's lives. I just hope that the many calls he made to check on his friends he somehow found peace for himself. To my great friend, great husband, great brother may God accept you for your unselfish support of people in crisis and seat you in comfort by his side. Go John, Go Cats! RIP Your friend, Eugene Mejia

I met my husband and John at the same time, 43 years ago, when they were getting ready for one of their many hiking trips. We've spent all those years doing things together with our families - vacationing at Rocky Point, skiing, backpacking, and dining. Our families grew & changed over the years . . . John married Rosa, Jason was born, kids moved away, Tasha passed, but through it all we remained close friends. We will miss John terribly - being part of our lives, and being our friend. No get-together will be the same without him. Our hearts go out to Rosa, Jason & Diane at this time of loss. May peace be with you. With love, Sandy & Jon

Our family is saddened by John's death. He loved his family and life. He shared his wisdom and joy. He understood human behavior and devoted his life to help others. Rosa and Jason please know we are here for you.

John and my dad have been good friends for over 40 years so I consider him and his family like family, so many memories/good times, his daughter and I called them Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble - lol I don't even remember how that came about but it was all in fun

Although I never had the opportunity ti meet John personally, I have pleasure of calling his son Jason my friend. If your son is anything like you.....you were an amazing man with a huge heart who had kindness to show to everyone he met. I know he will keep that legacy alive because he, too, is an amazing man.

I had heard so many stories from Rosita about John, would even give us free tickets for football season without even knowing us. When I finally met him he was such an amazing person kind, funny, and so full of life. Thank you for everything and best believe you will always be missed from your friends and family.

I was fortunate enough to know John as my uncle. He was always kind, caring and thoughtful. I will always remember how he made a point to reach out to my mother during her illness and knew she appreciated how much he cared. I also have kind memories of him in my wedding and how supportive he was throughout our big day. Uncle John will be greatly missed by my brothers and I. Sending our love to Aunt Rosa and Jason.

My dear Rosa, While I did not know John personally, through knowing you I know how kind, thoughtful and loving a person he was to you, his family, and friends. I'm so thankful that you, my friend, have so many wonderful memories of your loving husband and father to your cherished son. I always loved receiving the yearly family Christmas greeting cards. I love seeing your beautiful family and how happy you all look together. My prayers go out to you and Jason. Love you 😘

Dear Rosa and family, I’m so very sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories throughout the years, of the times we shared at Millie’s. John was such a character, he always made me laugh with his quick wit. He will be sorely missed. May God’s arms envelop you and your loved ones. Love Beth

Our deepest condolences to Rosa, Jason and family. Kelly and I had the pleasure of knowing John over the past several years. His passions were many. His love of his wife Rosa, Jason and Natasha, first and foremost. Music, film, reading, food, sports and absorbing knowledge. He was proud of his accomplishment as a Master Gardener at the University of Arizona. And his passion for his long career in social work and mental health explains a lot about John's caring heart. John had a beautiful view on life. It was never the 'glass half empty', nor 'half full'. To him, life was always full. We will miss our good friend.

I met John in the early 80’s and soon after I met Rosa. Over the next forty years, John was like a brother and Rosa is like a sister. John loved to dance with Rosa. He affectionately called her “Rosita”. The day Jason was born, there was a new sparkle in John’s eyes. There was a special bond between father and son. He was so devoted to his family and his love overflowed. As our chosen family, we spent time together watching U of A games, vacations in Mexico and holiday gatherings. Those were the best years. John had a delightful sense of humor, a quick story to tell, a passion for life, insightful, and had compassion for others. We will all hold on to what we loved about John, who he was, and the memories we never want to lose. John, my dear friend and brother, may you rest in peace. Sending my heartfelt condolences, my love and prayers to Rosa, Jason and his beloved sister, Diane. Millie Cassidy Thrush

It was 1985 when I first met John, it was at Goldwater's department store where his beautiful wife Rosa and I worked together. John was a handsome man with a kind smile and twinkling eyes. Rosa's and I's friendship grew over the years and on occasions I would see John with his great smile, twinkling eyes and found him to be a gracious host with a good sense of humor. His love of Rosa and Jason was apparent whenever he would look at Rosa and spoke of Jason. John had touched so many in his life he will truly be missed by all.

LeeAnn and I extend our sincere condolences to Rosa and Jason. John (Jack in the early times) and I began our friendship as pledges for the SAE fraternity at the University of Arizona. We were housemates for several semesters along with our equally good friend Bill (now Gantt) and even though we all ended up at opposite ends of the country we continued our friendship for the past 60 years, sharing life’s events, marriages, divorces, more marriages, kids and weddings. So many good memories except for the tragic passing of John’s daughter Natasha. John was more than just a friend, he was a best friend and a brother. He was a kind soul, always thinking about others, always interested in my life, LeeAnn, kids, grandkids and dogs. I will miss our frequent Sunday phone calls, debates about our opposite politics, his psychological therapy and just catching up. I will miss his humor , his hand rubbing laugh, his sincerity, compassion and competition with golf, tennis, racket ball. All of us will cherish the memories but we will always feel sadness knowing that we will never hear his voice or see him again. Wishfully, sometime in another life. Rest in peace Brother.

The world lost a truly wonderful man. John was one of the kindest men I’ve ever known. He truly was a light in the darkness for so many people, including myself. I am so honored to have known him and so very sad to hear of his passing. I am glad that his suffering is over and I know that he’s smiling down from heaven at his lovely wife, Rosa and their son. Rest in peace John🙏

John was a great friend and boss. He was loved by his clients, His respect for them and their families was evident in all his interactions with them. He was always ready with a smile and a laugh. He had many passions, including the “Cats”, his bonsai, his dogs, but his great love was his family. He shared many stories about Rosa, Jason and Tasha. He was always taking out his phone to show me photos of trips with Rosa and Jason, or projects he worked on with Jason at their homes. Tucson has lost a great man. He will be missed.

I met John, we all called him Hubie, at the U of Arizona and we maintained a 60 year friendship. So many good times, it’s hard to think of one that was better than another. Hubie was a true gentleman, a warm and sincere guy with a big heart. He emitted positive vibes that made one feel that he truly cared for others. My business trips to Tucson were never complete without seeing Hubie. Our college reunions were never complete without Hubie providing football game tickets, restaurant reservations, and a round of golf. Sitting on the terrace by the fire pits at Starpass in the evening with the city lights of Tucson twinkling in the distance and telling stories. On Halloween in Tucson as grown men we put on our costumes and acted as though we were teenagers, enjoying ourselves and each other’s presence. I will miss his happy face, with his big smile, and his enthusiasm when pressing his hands together with a roaring laugh. I can see him now, will never forget him.. Rest in Peace Hubie…I love you. Your buddy, Sandy McGee

I was introduced to John at a social gathering of mutual friends by his wife Rosa, . He was very personable and easy to speak with. I met Rosa several years ago at Dillards, where I worked security. May God rest his soul, and bless him and his family.

John was like a brother to me. Any problem I had (or anyone), John was there to help, professionally and personally. He spoke of his family in glowing terms and was a good friend to those of us connected by the Transpersonal Group for many years. I always knew I could call John, talk about poetry or anything else. I miss my good friend and poet. My condolences to Rosa, Jason and the rest of the family. -Love, Lollie

Everytime I would meet with John it would be a firm handshake and a warm smile. I would see Jason and him from a far at the UofA football games and we would always talk about the Men's Basketball team. Jason and I are good friends because we share many values and passions and they were instilled by John.

I only had the pleasure of meeting John once at a U of A basketball game, but his kindness, humor, and vibrant personality left a lasting impression. He made us feel welcome and part of the excitement. I’ve also heard so many amazing memories of him from my husband, which speaks volumes about the incredible person he was. My thoughts are with his son, wife, and family during this difficult time. May his memory bring you comfort and warmth.
