John Landry

John graduated from Sam Houston High School and earned a Bachelor of Science in Technology from The University of Houston. He met Darlene Frances Bischoff in the Astrodome at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and they were married on February 21, 1971.

John devoted his working life to welding and metal fabrication, bringing steady skill and pride to his craft. A faithful member of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, he also gave generously of his time in service—serving as president, head elder, and high school youth leader.

He found deep enjoyment in the outdoors through hunting and fishing, and he held a special appreciation for livestock. John also loved cheering on his Houston teams in football, baseball, and basketball. At home, he took pleasure in trucks, barbecuing, and cooking crawfish étouffée—simple joys that became lasting memories for those who shared his table.

John was preceded in death by his father, Luke David Landry; his mother, Helen Margret Landry; his son, Shaun Michael David Landry; and his son-in-law, Scott Benjamin Lockhart.

He is survived by his wife, Darlene Landry; his daughters, Angi Lockhart and Chris Hamilton; his son-in-law, Eddie Hamilton; his brother, Ron Landry (Ann Landry); his sister, Nancy Priest (Frank Priest); his grandchildren, Zach Lockhart (Emma Lockhart), Adam Lockhart, John Luke West, Kaylie Lamb (Jordan Lamb), Eden Hamilton, and Avery Hamilton; his great-grandchildren, Harper Lockhart, Piper Lockhart, and Presley Lockhart; and many nieces and nephews.
