John was born in Santa Monica, CA on December 17, 1951 to Arnold Stubblefield and Ruby Howard. He graduated from Eisenhower High School in Rialto, CA in 1970 before moving to Idaho to obtain a bachelor's degree in Marketing from Boise State University in 1975.

Being an avid outdoorsman, he also frequently enjoyed fishing, hunting and hiking.
A private viewing is scheduled for Wednesday, May 25, 2016 at Cloverdale Funeral Home for immediate family members. A memorial service will be held sometime mid-June for all other friends and family at which time notice will be given.

John was one of the guys I most looked up to at Eisenhower High in 1970. I remember his Christian witness to me one day as we were hauling chairs for the choir at school. On another occasion he told me one of the funniest jokes I'd ever heard, so funny, in fact, I laughed so hard that I think those around thought I was having a seizure.
He was one of the reasons I began working on my private pilot ticket, as well as becoming an avid hunter.
I hope to meet you in heaven, buddy! You were a terrific role model to me.
