John Louis Lucero, 52, passed away on May 26th, 2024, at Parkview Medical Center. He was born on April 13th, 1972, in Raton, New Mexico to John and Pat Lucero. He was a proud resident of Pueblo, Colorado, and a Raton High School graduate.
He worked as a distinguished MRI Technologist at UCHealth Parkview Imaging Center displaying superior status in his field. John had been involved with radiology since 1995 and was fluent in X-ray, CAT Scan, and MRI. His life was dedicated to his work and conducting research among the top-of-the-line doctors. With great honor, he scanned astronauts for NASA pre and post-space missions to evaluate the effects of zero gravity on their vision. John was recognized for designing the protocol and the scans to image the CCJ structures, alar ligaments, and all other structures in that anatomical area which was published. Some of his titles included: Technical Director/Chief MRI Technologist, Senior Technologist, RT (R)(CT) ARRT Technologist, and X-ray/Chief CT Technologist. He was always known as a “super tech” at every job he had worked at. Many awards have been earned throughout the years including being recognized by Cambridge Who’s Who as a VIP registry of executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs. John was passionate about bedside manner and said, “The technologist-patient relationship is central to the practice of healthcare and is essential for the delivery of high-quality healthcare in diagnosis and treatment.” John truly believed in alternative medicine and helping others with their health.
He was very outgoing and loved exploring the outdoors and going on new adventures. He had a way of talking people into doing anything and enjoyed making others laugh. John was a master guitarist in all genres of music and loved drawing and painting. Family always came first in John’s eyes. He was an outstanding son, brother, and uncle.
John is survived by his parents, John and Pat Lucero; sister, Sherri Whinnie; niece, McKenzy Whinnie; and nephew, Levi Whinnie.
He will be greatly missed and made a significant impact on people and in the medical field. Cremation has taken place and no services are planned. Online condolences at www.MontgomerySteward.com

Scars in Heaven by Casting Crowns
I know the road you walked was anything but easy
You picked up your share of scars along the way
Oh, but now you’re standing in the sun, you’ve fought your fight and your race is run
The pain is all a million miles away
The only scars in Heaven, they won’t belong to me and you
There’ll be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile now, even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven are on the hands that hold you now
My sympathies to the Lucero family. I am going to miss you my friend! You were an awesome technologist and a person, thank you for everything! Peace be with you brother.

I knew John through my brother . We connected as if we knew one another for a long time. Being a nurse all my life his knowledge about so many subjects blew me away. He had such a big heart, compassion and empathy. He was so good to my brother Geno who had so much respect for John.
John will be and already is truly missed.
