John Charles McCaulley, born on April 22, 1955 in Denver, CO to a proud father Wade B.McCaulley and mother Elizabeth (Betty) Ann McCaulley.

John had a long and successful career as a firefighter, working his way up the ladder to become Assistant Fire Chief. At age 55, John retired from the fire department and began a new career with the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District that he held for the last nine years. He was devoted to his local community and could be found working on golf courses, with the ski resort, the Beaver Creek Rodeo, and at the Eagle County Regional Airport.
John was passionate about the great outdoors and the Rocky Mountains. He could often be found fly fishing, hiking, cross country skiing, camping with his family and friends, vacationing with his brother Dennis at Rockies training in Arizona or watching the Broncos practice in Denver. John had a long lasting love with cooking. His food was always a family favorite at backyard BBQs, holiday parties, or at casual gatherings with friends and family.
He led a life well lived, filled with family, love and generosity. After a brief, hard battle with pancreatic cancer, John passed away peacefully on Sept. 14 in Vail, CO. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
Please join his family and friends for a celebration of life on Sept. 28, 2019 at 1 p.m. at the Eagle River Presbyterian Church, 455 Nottingham Ranch Rd., Avon, CO 81620.
