John Michael Daws

John Michael Daws, aged 76, peacefully departed this world on October 29, 2026, in the comfort of his home in Robinson, Texas, surrounded by the love of his cherished family. Born on January 28, 1950, in Amarillo, John was the beloved son of the late James and Ethel Daws, who instilled in him the values of integrity, dedication, and love that he carried throughout his life.

John shared 58 beautiful years of marriage with his devoted wife, Alice Cuzzort, whom he wed on September 28, 1968, in Waco, Texas. Together, they created a nurturing home filled with laughter and warmth, raising two children, Michael Jay and Michelle, who were the pride and joy of their lives.

A proud graduate of Waco High School in 1969, John dedicated over 35 years of his life to the Waco Fire Department, where he served courageously and retired as a Lieutenant on January 31, 2005. Known for his unwavering commitment to his community, John was a pillar of strength and kindness, often going above and beyond the call of duty to help those in need.

John’s legacy continues in the hearts of his loved ones. He is survived by his beloved wife, Alice; his children, Michael Jay and Michelle and her husband, Mark Vestal; and his brother, Jimmy. He was a proud grandfather to Chelsea (Kat) Hernandez, Mason (Dana) Daws, and AJ Martinez, and he took immense joy in his role as great-grandfather to the delightful Celia.

Preceded in death by his parents, James and Ethel, and his sister, Barbara Olsen, John will be remembered for his remarkable life – a life filled with love, service, and a steadfast commitment to his family and community. He leaves behind not just memories, but a legacy of love and courage that will be cherished by all who knew him.

John’s life was a testament to the power of love, family, and service. He will be deeply missed, yet his spirit will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
