John “Johnny” DuVall, 77, passed away peacefully at his home in Granada, Colorado, on June 8, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

Johnny was born on October 17, 1948, in Lamar, Colorado, to Curtis and Louise (Rice) DuVall. He was raised on the family ranch, where he developed a lifelong love for the land, livestock, and the agricultural way of life. He graduated from Granada High School with the Class of 1966. Following graduation, he attended Lamar Community College before returning home to dedicate himself to farming and ranching. In 1967, he received the prestigious American Farmer FFA Degree.

Johnny married the love of his life, Myrna Martin in 1969. Shortly afterwards, he joined the Army National Guard where he served for six years. Johnny raised his family and continued to expand his parents’ legacy on the DuVall family ranch through hard work, dedication, resilience and strong values, creating his own legacy and building a home filled with love, laughter, and countless memories. After a devastating tornado destroyed their ranch home in 2023, Johnny and Myrna relocated to Granada, where they continued to enjoy the support and friendship of their community.

Johnny was a devoted rancher who took great pride in raising horses, registered cattle, and his trusted working cattle dogs. He found joy in caring for his livestock and spending time outdoors, and he remained deeply connected to the agricultural heritage of southeastern Colorado throughout his life. He was also an avid baseball fan and enjoyed watching a Rockies’ game whenever he could.
Service to his community was one of Johnny’s greatest passions. He served as a member of the Granada School Board for 24 years, helping shape the future of local education. He dedicated many years as a 4-H leader, mentoring young people and encouraging their growth and success. Johnny also served on the Prowers County Fair Board from 1972 to 1983, supporting an event that celebrated the values and traditions he held dear. He grew up in the Methodist Church and was a proud member of Granada Masonic Lodge #72, where he recently received his 50-year recognition.

Johnny is survived by his wife Myrna DuVall of the home; children, Brian (Angie) DuVall of Pueblo West, Colorado and their children, Zach, Treg, and Taicee; Cody (Joette) DuVall of Granada, Colorado and their children, Trail, Tripp, and Tyleigh; and Farah DuVall of Lamar, Colorado; foreign exchange student that became like a daughter to him, Deborah Negrel of Pescara, Italy; sister, Susie (Mike) Scott of Westcliff, Colorado; brother, Eddie DuVall of Granada, Colorado; many other relatives and a host of friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Curtis and Louise DuVall; and his paternal and maternal grandparents.
