He owned and operated a general contracting company, J Belloff & Son in Idaho Falls for many years. His legacy will live on in the beautiful homes and buildings he crafted. 

John had an athletic aptitude and enjoyed playing basketball, golf, and football in his younger years. He was a natural at golf and continued to play the sport throughout his life, competing in long drive competitions and tournaments in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming. When not golfing, you could find him fishing with his father, friends, children, or some combination of the three. He loved to get in hot water and frequented many of the intermountain natural hot springs. He was a member of the Idaho Falls Catholic community and frequently gave his time to help others in need. Lastly, he was a devoted father to three boys each of whom carry a little bit of his spirit with them. 

He is survived by his parents, Joseph and Merlyn Belloff; brother, Bernard Belloff; and sister, Amanda Belloff, all of Idaho Falls, as well as his three sons, Jesse Belloff (14) of Lexington, SC, and Max and Miles (5) of Idaho Falls.
