John Gerald Eiman was born on December 17, 1968 in Anchorage, Alaska to parents, John Harvey and Peggy Lee Simmons Eiman.  He entered eternal life peacefully with his family by his side on Sunday, November 7, 2021 at the young age of 52 years.

John was a graduate of Payson High School in Utah.  He married his loving wife, Linda on June 14, 1991 in Franklin, Texas.  He was employed as an Electrical Distribution Service Manager with Bryan Utilities and was employed there for the past twenty-eight years.  John had been a resident of Franklin for the past thirty years and was of the Christian faith.

John had an infectious laugh and a giving heart.  His smile could light up a room and he was always the life of the party.  He had the quality of patience and was a friend to everybody. He loved his job and co-workers. Through the years, his co-workers became like family to him.  John enjoyed playing golf, hunting, barbecuing in his spare time and back road riding with his best friend, Derek. But, what John loved and enjoyed the most was spending time with his precious grandbabies. His family was always the utmost important to him.  John will be missed so much by so many people he touched throughout his lifetime. John was not only a wonderful son, brother and husband but also the absolute best Papa Poohbear.  He was a true and genuine man that will never be forgotten.

He is preceded in death by his father, John Harvey Eiman and his father-in-law, Ronney Spiller.

He is survived by his wife of thirty years, Linda Eiman of Franklin; his daughter and son-in-law, Jena and Chance Silar of Fairfield; sons and Daughter-in-law, Jonathan and Meagan Eiman of Rockdale and Joseph Eiman of Austin; his mother, Peggy Eiman of Franklin; sister and brother-in-law, Kimberly Jo and Jody Ortega of Richmond; mother-in-law, Marianne McNeil of Franklin, brothers-in-law, Frank Pacheco of Atlanta Georgia and Brian Spiller; five grandchildren: Sawyer Eiman, Hayden Lynn Williamson, Harper Eiman, Charleigh Silar and Kacey Silar; nieces, Savannah Kankula and husband Scott and Sophia Pacheco; nephews, Tyler Springer and Cody Pacheco.  John is also survived by many special friends.
