John had a great passion for serving the elderly adults in the community.

John enjoyed fishing, flying kites and helping others. However, his favorite pastime was spending time with his family. He retired from Capt. Don’s Seafood after 20 years of management and was recently working at John’s Island Tool & Party Rental.

Medlin, Jr. (Leslie); his grandchildren, Fisher Mackey Medlin and River John Medlin; a brother, Larry Medlin (Doreen) and a sister, Barbara Strickland. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ernest and Louise Medlin, his brothers, Harold Medlin, David Medlin, Jimmy Medlin and Joel Medlin, as well as his sister, Carolyn Cox.

He was a much beloved husband, father and granddaddy who will be greatly missed.
