Remembering John

A life held close in memory

John K. Gilmartin was a 24-year-old from Davenport, Iowa. Though public records about his personal life are limited, the details that are available show he was part of the local community and known to family, friends, and neighbors in the Quad Cities area.

Those who knew John would likely remember him as a young adult navigating the hopes and routines that come with that stage of life—work, friendships, and the small daily connections that shape a neighborhood. While formal public remembrances from a funeral home or family-authored obituary matching the death date were not found during this research, contemporary records indicate he died on June 5, 2023. That date marks the day his family and community lost someone dear to them.

Because the public record is sparse on personal details such as education, employment, hobbies, or extended family that can be responsibly confirmed, this remembrance focuses on dignity and respect: John was a real person whose life mattered to those closest to him. Even when available facts are few, the reality remains that a family sustained a loss and friends carry memories of shared moments.

If friends or relatives wish to expand this memorial with stories, photos, or verified details about John’s life—his likes, work, hopes, and the people he loved—those contributions would help paint a fuller picture of the person behind the name. For now, this page honors the fact that John K. Gilmartin lived among us, connected to a community in Davenport, and is remembered with care by those who knew him.
