John Coelho

John Ralph Coelho, age 50, passed away on April 27, 2017 in Roswell, NM. He was born on March 17, 1967 to Alfred Coelho and Elsie McClurg in Orange, California.

John is preceded in death by his mother, Elsie Beach; step-father Don Beach; brother-in-law Jim Berryhill and nephew David Climer.

John worked for twenty years as a locksmith. He gave of his time and talent freely and was always ready to lend a hand to anyone in need. John was "Mr. Fix It" and a workhorse for all who asked him for help. When his telephone rang, he willingly answered the call for help day or night. John will be remembered as good mentor and provider for his family.

John was a big presence in any room he entered. He was a serious jokester and could always have people laughing in good fun.

John enjoyed collecting things and was especially fond of his motorcycles.

John is survived by his wife Annette of Roswell; sons John Michael Coelho of California, Tyler Coelho of California, Garren Coelho of Roswell, and Deagen Coelho of Roswell; father Alfred Coelho; brothers Alfred Coelho and Wayne Bryan of California; sisters Jeanette Tew of California, Sandra Climer of Minnesota, Coleen Schroeder of California, Delinda Berryhill of California, and Merry Mello of California.
