John Christian Hadley

John was born on October 8th, 1986 in Kansas City, Missouri to Rick Hadley and Sheila May. After graduating from high school, he attended the Universal Technical Institute in Illinois, where he double coursed and graduated nine months early with a degree in Diesel Mechanics.

John was a very private person who loved outdoor activities, playing pool, flying kites with his kids, riding anything with wheels, creating things with his hands and always going out of his way to help anyone, day or night. His passions were singing and playing the guitar which his Dad taught him and in turn John taught his children. He always wanted to see the ocean, so if you ever dip your toes in the sand, be sure to think of him.

He is preceded in death by his father Rick Hadley, brothers Channing May and Jesse May.

John is survived by his mother, Sheila Durham and Michael Durham; sons Kaiden Hadley, Chance Hadley, Bobby Hadley; daughter Belle Eve Hadley; brothers Sonny Garza, Rickie Hadley, Anthony Vonder Haar and sister Aimee (Aaron) Carter.
