John Daniel Wood, 63, \u201cBig John\u201d is what he referred to himself as, passed away as result of a fatal ATV accident in the OwyheeMountainson October 29, 2011.\u00a0 He died doing what he loved most, living life to the fullest.\u00a0 His favorite saying was \u201cLife Is Good\u201d.\u00a0 He had a good life.\u00a0 He was born to Cecil (Moose) and Edna (Pearson) Wood, both of Melba, on December 2, 1947 in Nampa.\u00a0 He owned and operated Wood Pump Co. for 40 years. He never met a challenge that he didn\u2019t meet head-on, whether it be a competition or just trying to build something. If he couldn\u2019t find what he was looking for in a store, he fabricated it.\u00a0 He was an absolute genius in creating whatever it took to get the job done. Many people looked to him for help, which he was always ready to give.\u00a0 \u201cBig John\u201d never met a stranger.\u00a0 Young or old, rich or poor, it didn\u2019t matter to him. He had the gift of gab and didn\u2019t hesitate to use it. \u201cBig John\u201d had a vast array of friends who shared his love of many sports. He was an avid drag racer at Firebird Raceway where he was a member of the Melba Outlaws race team. There he bonded with many including the New Team (owners of the racetrack) who was always supportive and became like family to him. He was proud of his race team members who have taken 1st<\/sup> Place many times. He was a competitive pool player, having played for the Cook\u2019s Two-Holer Bar in Melba for 27 years. There again, he had a great team of players that took 1st<\/sup> Place.\u00a0 They too were guys he was extremely proud of. When he wasn\u2019t doing either of those activities he was snowmobiling or riding his 4-wheeler. He loved SilverCity and the Owyhee Mountains and spent endless hours there. No moss grew under him.\u00a0 He was always on the go.\u00a0 He would put all this aside for his family. If an occasion came up with one of the granddaughters or sons, he was there. He enjoyed being a member of the Nampa Elk\u2019s Lodge #1389 for 34 years, getting together to cheer on the Boise State Broncos.\u00a0 He was a loving husband to his wife of almost 46 years, Sandy, a cherished father to his sons Troy Wood\u00a0 and Jake (Skee) Wood both of Nampa, and an awesome grandpa to Libertee and Lily Wood.<\/p>\n

Survivors include his wife, their sons, daughter-in-law, granddaughters, sister Gayle Wood of Boise and J.D. (Sylvan) Adamson of Nampa, his nieces, nephews and numerous cousins.<\/p>\n

A celebration will be held at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, November 5, 2011 at the Melba High School south gymnasium, 6870 Stokes Ave.\u00a0 A viewing will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, November 4th<\/sup> at the Zeyer Funeral Chapel, 83 N Midland Blvd, Nampa. (467-7300). Burial will be at Melba Cemetery.\u00a0 In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Melba Quick Response Unit, 109 4th<\/sup> St. Melba, ID 83641.<\/p>\n
