John was preceded in death by his father John. John is survived by his wife of 42 years, Regena, his mother Eleanor, his sister Betty Foster and husband Ron, his brother Timothy Vick and wife Marianne, his three daughters Jennifer Bellamy and her husband Gene, Julie Vick Harber and her husband Dave, and Jessica Biehl and her husband Brannon, and his grandsons Graham Harber, Beck Harber, Hugh Bellamy, Nolan Bellamy, and Preston Biehl.
