Fire captain for Jamestown Volunteer Fire Department was Dorwart’s title, and he wore his helmet proudly. John had been a part of the department for eight years.
John enjoyed riding his Harley Road King, the Firefighter Edition, with his wife, Lori. Last year, he traveled down to Daytona for “Bike Week” with some of his friends. John also enjoyed deer hunting and attending Colts games with friends. One of his favorite traditions included going to the Indianapolis 500 every year. Although he hadn’t been to the Badlands in a while, John loved going wheeling with his Jeep buddies.
John loved all his dogs, his grand-dogs, and spending time with his family. John’s passion for cooking flavorful food and meat would always bring people together to eat a wonderful meal and enjoy each other’s company.
John will be missed in many ways, but he will always be remembered for his adventurous, wild personality.
