Tribute

John (68) loved people and the Good Lord. He never knew a stranger. He didn't have much; however, he was rich in what he did have and gave to those in need. Even with his passing, he wanted his body donated to Science Care to continue to help others. He grew up doing hard work for everything he wanted & needed. He was a produce farmer, truck driver, mechanic, construction worker, rug weaver, and more. A real Jack of all trades. He was hard on his body. We always said he had more than nine lives. His back and leg were crushed while helping a friend move a car. He had COPD, and he was in prostate cancer remission. And he was only operating on 23% of his heart. John graduated HS in 1975, unable to read & write very well, but could master a tablet to keep in touch with family and friends by sending memes and videochatting. He loved fishing, camping, mushroom hunting, boating the canal, gardening, car shows, craft shows, flea markets, and auctions. Heaven gained an angel and a big piece of my (our) heart on March 19, 2025, at 4:30 AM
