A proud graduate of Texas Tech University, John channeled his passion for community service and leadership into various roles throughout his life. He served as the Chapter Director for the Top Wings Motorcycle Club and was the owner-operator of E-Way Automotive. John also made an impact in the Educational Sector, driving the longest bus route, Route 168, for Canyon Independent School District.
In the 1970s, John excelled in the West Texas Jaycees organization, serving as a National Director and later as the Administrative National Director from approximately 1970 to 1977. During his tenure, he earned the prestigious "Outstanding A.N.D." award in 1977. As the Jaycees had a maximum age limit of 35 or 36, John concluded his time with the organization upon reaching that milestone.
John is survived by his beloved Wife, Dolores Duggan; Daughter Amanda England; Son John Palmer; Son Aaron Braddock; Granddaughter Wylie Braddock; Grandson Declan Braddock; one Brother, Verlon Duggan of Lone Grove, OK; and three Sisters Carolyn Martin of Portage, IN, Jan Marcontell of Thicket, TX, and Joy Palmer of Frisco, TX.
He was preceded in death by his Parents, Arthur Duggan in 1998 and Elsie Duggan in 2001, his Sister Mary Bean in 1999, his Daughter Jo Karlyn Duggan Tims in 1990, and his first Wife, Marian Frances Duggan, in 2001.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital or to The Church at Quail Creek in Amarillo, Texas.
John's legacy of dedication to his family, community, and friends will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.
