 Celebration of Life for John A. Batron
 
John A. Batron (78) passed away peacefully on January 16, 2025.  John was born August 11, 1946 in Calais, Maine.  He was preceded in death by his wife of 48 years, Amelia, who passed away in 2015.  The two of them had been childhood neighbors, high school sweethearts and are now reunited.  John was passionate about issues concerning the blind, as well as his family.  John wrote several books that were published in both print & Braille, including: “I am a Crayon”, “The Yellow Pumpkin”, Wee Willy Wiggle Worn” and “Emma Jean and the Robot”.  
 
John is survived by his two sisters: Janice from Maine and Sally from South Carolina, his son, Brent, daughter-in-law, Ena and 5 grandchildren, Gavin, Sienna, Olivia, Noah and Roman, all of Colorado.  There will be a ceremony to celebrate his life on March 8th from 10:30 – 12:30 at Heather Gardens Clubhouse
2888 S. Heather Gardens Way 
Aurora, CO 80014. 
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Colorado Center for the Blind in his memory.  
 
If you are attending and being dropped off, the circle drive is the front of the building.  Enter there and to the elevator.   Press “S” on the keypad.   The elevator door will open on the opposite side.   Exit and go straight back to the wall, turn right and the rooms are on the left, Aspen and Blue Spruce rooms.  That is where the service will beheld.  
 
After the service feel free to join us at the Rendezvousrestaurant where we can meet and share memories of John.
