The Brasfield family is so deeply saddened by the passing of John. He was a great man that this family is truly going to miss. Kaye is going to miss the man that she has loved since the sixth grade. He was a great provider, husband, and father. Adam and Nic are going to miss their dad. He was such a strong supporter of them both throughout their years of sports, careers, marriage, and now children. John was very proud of his family and loved them more than they will ever know. We are so blessed to have so many people that have reached out to us to show how much they love us and how much they loved John. Please continue with your prayers as this family deals with such a great loss. Thank you so much.

I will never forget John Brasfield. From the many times I spent with Adam and Nic at their house, to the time John and my dad coached our First Assembly Angels baseball team, to the times he offered encouragement to me after high school basketball games. Adam and Nic spent much of their growing up time on the athletic fields, where I was. And their dad was always right there, cheering us all on. He was a lot of fun to be around, and he cared for other people before himself. My family and I will be praying for all the Brasfields. We love you.

So much comes to mind when I remember John Brasfield - with every thought, I smile and laugh! He was always so full of life and a joy to be around. I can still hear him laughing now. I will remember him fondly from the time the Brasfield family let us "live" with them during the ice storm to the time my dad ran into a cement truck and John was one of the first ones there to offer his help. He was such an incredible family man who loved each of them deeply (including Magnolia and Blossom and Doolittle, I am sure - ha). He knew how to make you feel a part of his family, as well. My prayers are with you, Kaye, Adam, Ellen, Maddox, Nic, and Ashley as you journey through this time together. May Jesus continue to surround you with His love and you feel His peace!

I am from Johnny's childhood. Sadly in adulthood Johnny and I lost contact. I can say that as a child and teen Johnny was alot of fun. I remember playing on Grandma and Granddaddy's farm with him, swimming in the pond, catching baby bats, picking black berries, playing rook and riding in the wagon pulled by Grandaddy's mule cake. He was plain and simply fun to be with. And, he was a fine athlete. I have missed him for a long time and I am sad that he is gone. Johnny I loved you. Peace and love I send to Johnny's family. Hi Ronald. Love, Georgia

John was truly a wonderful man. We remember the hours he spent working for the FACS Booster Club, the time he spent with his sons and going to games (they always had the best sports equipment), and his love for Jesus. We especially remember the week we spent at John and Kayes during the ice storm. Jimmy remembers reading the love letters John wrote Kaye from the sixth grade on. The Brasfield home was always a fun place to hang out, laugh, and enjoy a great friendship. We remember the golf hats he had made for FACS Golf Tournament (Because of Jesus always printed on them). We never go on a trip when the gas gauge gets low and saying this would be driving John nuts. John always believed in a full tank of gas. So many memories and now John is at peace with Jesus. The hope we have that we will see him again because we know no matter what he loved Jesus.Kaye, Adam, Nick you are in our prayers and thoughts. We are thankful to be considered friends of the Brasfields - we love you all.

I met John through Tennessee Mortuary Service (I was an employee of Jim Hizer). He was a great man, very helpful in my career and I enjoyed doing business with him over the years.

John was a loving, caring person that would have given his life if he knew it would save yours. God just could not wait any longer for John's kind soul to be in His presence. He touched so many and I am so grateful I was one of them. My heart goes out to Frances and his son's for their loss. Love you always, John.
