John attended Festus High School in Festus, MO. After high school, he proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy for over 4 years. John was a family man. He made it a priority to bring love into the lives of everyone he met. He was a devoted husband, caring father, and loving grandfather. Anyone that knew John knew of his sweet and caring nature. He was certainly a man who valued his faith and his family. He will truly be missed by everyone who knew and loved him.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in John’s name to American Diabetes Association.
