John Carter Comer

John was born August 6, 1931 in Danville, VA, the son of Russell and Carrie Comer.

He was baptized as one of Jehovah’s witnesses in May of 1971. He was a member of the Forest Oaks Congregation at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on Liberty Rd. in Greensboro. He faithfully served his God Jehovah until his death. His children fondly remember his dedication to meetings and field service.

John was a fan of stock car racing and attended many events with his son, son-in-law and other family members and friends. He never met a stranger as was always eager to converse with friends old and new. He enjoyed the outdoors and was a frequent camper with family and friends. Many friends will remember camping for five and eight day assemblies and conventions in places such as Atlanta, New Orleans and Jacksonville. He regularly vacationed with his family at the beach and in the mountains. He traveled internationally with his beloved wife Dixie to Europe and South America as well as Alaska and many parts of the continental US. He was an accomplished motorcyclist.

John served in the United States Navy from 1952-1956.

Those left to cherish his memory include his son Jon Jeffrey Comer (Veronica) of Graham; daughters, Deborah Gardner (Richard) and Malissa Dark (Cecil), all of Liberty, Mary McCann (Mike) and Katrina Strickland (Reggie), all of Greensboro; thirteen grandchildren, twenty-five great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.
