John Leon Primeau, 76, of Rapid City, passed away on November 13, 2021 at Monument Health in Rapid City. John was the kind of person it did not take long to know. He made friends everywhere he went. His hobbies were buying and modifying new electrical equipment from stereos boom boxes flashlights and anything else he thought he could do or make better. He called it \"modifying\" so that is a word we will always associate with John and will never forget. He rode the Rapid City Transit bus every day. He knew everybody on there plus all the drivers and love to socialize. If you went to the store with him especially the mall you would have noticed everybody knew him . All he had to do was walk into a store door at the mall and was very well known and greeted by staff and workers. John would never forget his fallen comrades of life. He would love to \" ice one up \" and every time he would pour some out and say \"there\'s one for the boys\"! John had a lot of family; his sister Laurel Blakley and her children Loran (Carol), Angela (Martin) , Babette, (Randy) Danial, and Carla. (Lester). All his great nieces and nephews - Jared, Jeff, Loranda, Timothy, Charles, Jessa, Jay, Cannon and LJ. He had his own children and grandchildren and great grand child who are named as well. John will be missed very, very much. He loved helping people and his last act of helping was saving the life of a 59-year-old man by donating his liver. He will always be loved and never forgotten.
