HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE, Calif. – John Noel Pape, 53, of Hidden Valley Lake, passed away peacefully in Santa Rosa on March 3 surrounded by family.

John was born on June 17, 1962, in Phoenix, Ariz., to Noel and Shirley Pape. He was the youngest of their four children and the only son.

He was predeceased by his mother and father. He is survived by his sisters, Cindi, Cathy (Larry) and Jodi (Ed). John also leaves behind his wife, whom he always referred to as his soulmate, Sarah Pape, and his children, Natasha, Dominic, Tyler and Mackenzie.

He is also survived by four grandchildren, Kadenze, Steven, Hunter and Christian, as well as his nieces and nephews, all of whom he loved dearly.

John was a successful businessman and the owner of Armed Force Pest Control Inc., which he built from the ground up by sheer persistence and determination.

He was well respected in the community and known for his generosity. John was a kind and caring man with a huge heart, and would drop anything at any time to lend a helping hand.

John will always be remembered as a devoted, loyal husband, and a true family man. John was an avid 49ers fan, excellent golfer (with a hole in one to boot) and a lover of fast cars. He also enjoyed playing blackjack with his wife, entertaining, making people smile and playing with his beloved Boston Terriers. He will be missed by so many.
