John was a simple yet deeply passionate man. He was a proud Texan through and through. His family was the absolute center of his universe and his greatest joy was sharing his love of sports, hunting, and all things outdoors—be it in the back yard, around a campfire in his beloved North Georgia mountains, or on the boat. We invite you to embrace John’s lifestyle by arriving in your favorite sports team attire and jeans, or something else you find comfortable to honor his memory. Dallas Mavericks or Texas Longhorn clothing is frowned upon. Thanks and Gig ’em.

Please bring or write a note (to be placed inside the memorial box at the funeral) with a story or beloved memory of John. The family will greatly appreciate the opportunity to reflect on these memories in the future.
