Pop, we love you. There are so many memories that we made together. We went fishing, played cowboys and Indians, made some funny videos, and many other things. One thing I will always remember is that you always pointed to Jesus. You constantly reminded us how important it is to trust in God and study His Word. We love you Pop and we miss you but we know that we will see you at the house. Until then, save a place for us. We love you. 

Doc was an awesome friend. He saved my husband's life in Vietnam as he also did many others. It was a real pleasure and honor to have known him. He loved Sandy so much and he had so much love for others. This world is a sad place right now, but it is a better place for having Doc in it. He had a beautiful voice and was an awesome guitar player. He had many talents. He was a staunch Christian man and wasn't afraid to show it. Rest in Peace Doc. We love you. You are truly an Angel. May God bless his family.

Popie I love you very much. You will forever be in my heart. I’m glad to be called your granddaughter. We had a special bond. I was born around the time you needed me most in your life. I am also very proud that I was able to give you time with your first great grandbaby, Grayson Loudermilk. We will always carry you in our hearts. 

What Happened This Year? It is like a bad dream that we can't wake up from. All of us are hurting and right now it seems like there is no relief. But we all know that in God's word we have peace.  "Know Jesus Know Peace", "No Jesus, No Peace". I love my Brothers, Sister  and Family with all my heart. When one of us passes, and to see them no more in this life is almost unbearable. If not for God's love and compassion I would be alone. But we are not alone, Jesus is right there with us. As the old song says, Peace, Peace, wonderful Peace coming down from the Father above,. If we believe in Jesus we have the Peace that only comes from above. So we need to put our faith in Jesus that even though my Big Brother John is gone from this life he is alive with Jesus in Heaven. I want to keep my lamp trimmed and burning with the power of God until it is my turn to leave this world and see my Big Brother John, Family and Friends in Heaven!

I will always love and miss you Uncle John. My love and prayers go out to the family. I love you all so much. Love Barbie.

From Gerry Regan.  Doc Loudermilk had a profound impact on my life. He saved my life! He was the corpsman with Charlie 1/5 when I was shot through the neck on February 13, 1968. Blood was dripping off my shirt , he treated my wound with such calm reserve that he led me to believe I was going to be ok and I was. I am forever  grateful to Doc. 
I was privileged to be present when Doc was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor for actions he took when Bob Sawaya’s squad was ambushed December 15, 1967. Many others owe their lives to Doc Loudermilk including Ed Zettlemoyer when he was cut down by machine gun fire running across the street during the house to house fighting in Hue City. Doc ran out under tremendous fire and carried him to safety. These are just a few stories about the many men who owe their lives to John Loudermilk.

My memories of John would be at our Cook Family Reunions. To me he was a quite man, but always took the time to have a conversation with me. During these reunions many of us cousins would form a group and sing and John would play his guitar.... Sandy my heart breaks for you, always know this Alabama cousin loves you and will keep you and the family in my prayers.

Uncle John was more than just an uncle to me, personally.  As a younger niece, our families were together as much as you can, so he was like a mentor in many ways.  To me, Uncle John was not an aggressive man, but kind, gentle and never sought to be out front. He was okay in the background.  He was creative and very thoughtful to those he encountered.  Yes, he was very handsome, too.  But, he was humble and treated his wife and children with dignity and respect.  I probably had a crush on him when I was little, too, if the truth be known.  LOL!  He and Aunt Sandy were such a beautiful couple and no matter what difficulty they faced, they faced it together and head on.  They trusted God in everything and the mentor still lives on because of all that his example has taught us on how to live our own lives.  I love you, Uncle John!  I will see you later when we all have that great family reunion down the road.  Tell the family, it won't be long!  (niece)

John you will forever live in my heart. I have so many precious memories. Growing up was fun, hearing you, and Tooter playing guitar’s  and the way you done wipe out had everyone on our street out in their yards listening. I miss you my brother in love.  You were like a Big Brother to me..  I am praying for my precious sister Sandy, and my dear niece Stefanie, dear nephew Johnny.   Hugs, and Love.  

I am filled with sorrow at the thought of my Uncle's passing. Of course I am sad at the thought of never being able to see him again but my sorrow is deapest for my Aunt Sandy & my cousins, their children and little Grayson (who I know will have a hard time understanding what happened) I will continue to pray that God will bring them peace. Love Always & Forever 💗Kim💗

I HAVE SO MANY FOND MEMORIES OF JOHN AND SANDY, HE WAS A PART OF MY LIFE AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER! I ALWAYS LOVED HEARING HEAR HIM TELL STORIES AND HIS LAUGH WAS CONTAGIOUS. I ALSO LOVED TO HEAR HIM PLAY THE GUITAR, HE WAS AN AMAZING MUSICIAN! I WAS SO SURPRISED A COUPLE MONTHS BACK WHEN JOHN AND SANDY SHOWED UP TO A CHURCH THAT I WAS PEACHING AT AND HE WAS SO KIND WITH HIS COMMENTS ON THE SERMON. I AM THANKFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A MAN LIKE JOHN LOUDERMILK IN MY LIFE, HE WILL BE SORELY MISSED! MUCH LOVE TO SANDY AND THE FAMILY

I love you Uncle Johnny. You remind me so much of Papaw. There is probably no need to tell you that dad loved you, because he has already been talking to you

I’m so very Thankful to have had my wonderful brother, our Hero, in my life. We will always carry him with us. Love and prayers for God’s love and peace to comfort you Sandy, Johnny and Stefanie and family. ❤️

I remember Uncle John's deep voice, his singing, and his impressions of Johnny Cash and John Wayne. He will be sorely missed! Our love and condolences go out to my Aunt Sandy, my cousins Johnny and Stephanie, and the rest of the family. We love you all!

It was our privilege to know John and Sandy Loudermilk and their family. He was a reserved and talented man and a lover of God and Country! Our Silver Saints club will not be the same without him. Our sincere sympathy for his beloved wife, Sandy , and his son, our Pastor John II, and all the Loudermilk family. 
Love ❤️ and Prayers,
Diana & Philip Cissell

My condolences during this rough time. I know his family from SLC. I know that he is in Heaven and Rejoicing with others.
