John D. Salter of Hockley, Texas, passed away peacefully on January 28, 2024, leaving to join the Lord after a hard-fought battle with cancer. He was born October 8, 1951, to William Howard and Mary Eades Salter in Houston, Texas.

John attended Cy-Fair High School where a shop class would lead him to a career in machining, owning Salter Precision Machining in Katy for over four decades. In addition to being devoted to his company and employees, John enjoyed drag racing where he developed many friendships over nearly 50 years.
Most of all, John was proud of his family, especially his grandchildren Ethan and Emma who lovingly referred to him as “Pops.”
