John Morris Holcombe

John Morris Holcombe, 87, passed away Wednesday, July 3, 2024 after a short illness. Born in Jasper, Georgia he was a son of the late Gordon & Maggie Holcombe. John moved to Jacksonville from Atlanta, Georgia with his family in 1969. Shortly after their arrival they joined St. Paul United Methodist Church and he has been a member there ever since. John enjoyed his service to God through his work in the church. He also enjoyed travel with his wife, Sue, in their later years, but his biggest joy came from his family and spending time with them.

He is survived by daughters Lynn (Bill) Read and Cindy (Larry) Newton, Sons Michael (Pam) Holcombe and Daniel Holcombe, niece Susan Tate and nephew Stephen Singleton, 13 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his lovely wife of 55 years, Ada Sue, and his sister, Louise Singleton.
