OBITUARY
John Boyce York Jr.
October 6, 1956 – January 7, 2020
IN THE CARE OF
Woody Funeral Home-Parham
John Boyce York, Jr. was survived by his mother and father, John and Becky York, his children Ashley, Austin (Rachel), Michael (Wendy), Taylor, David, and Alex, their loving mother and his forever friend, Sheila York, his grandchildren Elijah, Ava, and James, his siblings Lance and Dawn, mother-in-law Thelma, and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
John was known for his smile. In his 63 years, his presence brought joy and comfort to everyone that knew him. He lived by his songs and sayings like “Life is just a big tomato” and “It’s the simple pleasures in life.” He challenged the status quo and taught his children if you live a life of compassion and kindness, you’re the richest person in the world. An eternal artist and dreamer, John was the kindest, sweetest, funniest, goofiest, handsomest, singingest, drawingest, and lovingest person. He was most proud of his family and we are most proud of him.
The funeral service will be held at Woody Funeral Home Parham Chapel at 1:00 on Saturday, January 18th with a viewing on Friday, January 17th from 5:00-8:00. All friends, family, and acquaintances of the York family are welcome to join in celebrating the life of John York.
