John served in both the United States Marine Corps and the United States Army.

John was actively involved with their sons’ little league teams and Boy Scout troops. John could fix anything and loved ice cream and watermelon.
He is preceded in death by his parents, five siblings, and ten half-siblings.

John leaves behind three sons and their wives, seven grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. . He is also survived by his older half-sister, Winnie Crawford Steele.

Because we want to celebrate his service to our country and his life, John’s family asks that you wear red, white, and blue to the service and/or visitation.
