John was a people person and a good friend to many. He enjoyed visiting with his neighbors, spending time at McDonalds and talking on the phone with friends.

John’s grandchildren were the light of his life. He loved spending time with them and being involved in their activities. He especially enjoyed watching his grandson, Chris, race go-carts as a young boy. He was proud that his grandson, Tucker, is following in his footsteps to serve in the U.S. Navy. He always told others that his three granddaughters, MacKenzie, Shelby, and Katy John were the prettiest girls in the world. His great-grandson, Brooks, was his pride and joy.
