John Houston

He was born December 18, 1951 in Temple to Dixie and Herbert Houston. He lived his entire 69 years in the Temple area. John attended Temple schools, participating, in many sports events. John enjoyed all sports, from skiing in Colorado, to fishing trips with his boys. He was an avid football fan of whatever team was on the screen especially the Texas Longhorns. He had his private pilot license and enjoyed flying when time permitted, also enjoyed a good game of golf with his golfing buddies.

He was talented in musical instruments, playing whatever instrument was needed. He was a member of Temple Bible Church where he had been a member of the Praise Band a few years ago.

He always enjoyed doing things with his hands which led to his talented Masonary work. He built many homes in the Temple, Killeen area.

John is survived by his Mother and Step Father, Dixie and Norris Frazier, son Chris Houston and his wife Deana of Salado, daughter Jana Brodeur and her husband Bob, son Jarrod Houston and his wife Abby, son Tyler Houston and his wife Julie all of Temple, sister Phyllis Best and her husband Mike of Nashville, Tennessee and brother Galen Houston and his wife Nancy of Gunnison, Colorado; eleven grandchildren and two step grandchildren, who brightened his life.

To greet him on the heavenly side will be his good friend, Michelle Crews, who died suddenly in May, his father Herbert Houston, and many other close relatives.

John had made it plain to us he wanted to be cremated, with no fancy funeral. Because of COVID we will have to grant those wishes, with a Memorial Service for a later date when we have all received our vaccine and it is a safer world.
