John Charles Lockhart

John Lockhart embodies the quintessence of unconditional love, dedicating his life to its pursuit and selfless service, profoundly inspiring countless hearts. His selfless acts have cemented his status as a resplendent pillar of strength within his community and family. As a devout servant of Yah, his spirit will be deeply revered. Not only was he an accomplished Yonkers NY track star and a courageous Vietnam war veteran for the U.S Army, but also a gifted artist, yet his love for humanity and the Most High Yah transcends all these remarkable achievements. Fondly known as "the man who preached God" in his community, he was prophesied by a family elder to become a preacher. John Lockhart, affectionately called "JC" or "John Charles", shared the profound teachings of the Most High God of Abraham, the 12 tribes of Israel, and the Israelites with everyone he met, emphasizing love, forgiveness, and unity. He generously shared his gifts, teaching chess, baseball, painting, gardening, his love for collecting vintage music records, rare collectables, and track, while mentoring and supporting underprivileged youths. John's love was truly unconditional, and his presence touched the hearts of many. His remarkable spirit will be profoundly missed by the world, yet his legacy of love will continue to inspire generations to come.
