John truly cherished his roles as a dad and husband; he found immense joy in providing for his beloved family. His heart swelled with love for his wife, his Princess, his parents, sister, family, Chase, and Ella. He was a compassionate and responsible man who had a warm, friendly demeanor. John took great delight in playfully teasing his wife, sharing light-hearted banter and enjoyable rants about the most random topics, which often brought laughter to their home.
The birth of his Princess was a moment of pure joy for him, a profound source of pride. He felt accomplished when he purchased their first home. John had a passion for working on his 54 Bel-Air, a love for Mexican food, and enjoyed savoring a cold Coca-Cola.
Though he initially dreamt of becoming a mechanic, he found his calling as a dedicated truck driver, a profession that allowed him to assist others in reaching their goals. He wished for others to find strength during challenging times and emphasized the importance of being there for one another.
One of John's proudest achievements was founding his own car club, “Tru 2 Life,” where he showcased his beloved 97 Ranger. Music held a special place in his heart, with favorites like “So Fresh, So Clean,” “Wanna Be a Baller,” “It Was A Good Day,” “Regulate,” “The Crossroads,” “Whatever You Like,” “Lose Yourself,” and “Lowrider.” His favorite colors, green and black, were a reflection of his vibrant personality and taste.
John is survived by his spouse, Andrea Alicia Garner; his daughter Skylar Azul Garner; his father Harold Hillman Garner Jr. and his mother Renee LaRue Garner; his sister Cathy Rangel.
John was preceded in death by his grandparents Harold Hillman Garner, Bertha Lee Garner, Crockett Elliot Kennon, and Frankie Sue Kennon.
A visitation for John will be held Friday, May 16, 2025 from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Funeraria Del Angel, 5100 North Fwy, Houston, TX 77022.
