Rev. John Hatcher was born May 4, 1951 in Memphis, Tennessee. He went to be with his Lord and Savior on Jan 26, 2021 in Houston, Texas. At the time of his death, he was the pastor of Northside Assembly of God in Houston.
John is preceded in death by his grandparents, Anthony and Ethyl Liberto; his father, Johnny Douglas Huggins, and his mother, Betty Ann Goudreau; his daughter-in-law, Sarah Hatcher, and his sister Mona Lisa Mead Williams. He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Judy; his son and daughter-in-law, Jeremy and Christina Hatcher of Baytown; his son Jacob and daughter-in-law Melinda of La Porte; his daughter and son-in-law Jessica and Jacob McCleese of Chesapeake; his son James of Baytown; grandchildren Tripp Hatcher, Jordan Abrego, Jaycee Hatcher, Kaylee Hatcher, Jeremiah Hatcher, Joshua Hatcher, Jerica Hatcher, Jade Hatcher, and Jaelyn Hatcher; and great-grandchildren Zane Abrego and Jackie Schindehette; brother and sister-in-law Bob and Margaret Gentry; brother Bill Goudreau; brother-in-law Terry Williams; and numerous nieces and nephews.
John was an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God, and in his nearly 40 years of ministry, he served as children’s pastor, youth pastor, associate pastor and senior pastor of churches in Mexia, Bloomington, Pasadena, Baytown, De Soto, and Houston, Texas, as well as in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
John loved riding his Harley and golfing, but most of all, he loved serving the Lord in pastoral ministry and spending time with his family and loved ones. He loved being the life of the party and laughing and joking with friends and family. He is most likely having a reunion party with his loved ones that have gone to heaven before him. Indeed, John’s greatest desire was to see all his friends and family in heaven one day. He will be missed greatly until we all meet together that wonderful day in eternity.
