John Sanders Lovejoy Jr. of Mt. Brook, AL passed away Thursday, January 7, 2021. He is survived by his wife of 14 years, Linda Spearman Lovejoy, two sons Thomas Chappell Lovejoy (Cyndi) of Atlanta, GA and James Sanders Lovejoy of Denver, CO, two daughters Leigh Fitzgerald Harris and Ashley Harris Hart (Ryan) and three beloved grandchildren; Anna Gray Hart, Harris Preston Hart and Sutton Thomas Harris all of Atlanta, GA, three sisters, Florence Lovejoy Hannigan (Bill) of Birmingham, AL, Regina Lovejoy McKelvey (Henry) of Gadsden, AL, Anna Lovejoy Cochran of Birmingham, AL; numerous loving aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. John was preceded in death by his parents Mr. and Mrs. John Sanders Lovejoy Sr (Marie Daccardi), and sister Jeanette Lovejoy Humphrey (Craig). John was born on January 30, 1949 in Gadsden, AL. He graduated from Gadsden High School and Auburn University where he majored in economics. He was a member of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity. After graduation he moved to Albany, GA where he began his career in insurance and banking. John spent the majority of his career in financial planning and later formed his own financial planning and investment advisory business in Birmingham, AL with partner, Eric McClain of McClain Lovejoy Financial Planning LLC. John had a passion for learning and living life. He especially enjoyed birding, photography, computers, history, music, painting and most recently learning to play the piano. Some of his most cherished times were traveling with his children and grandchildren photographing those precious memories. Johns heart grew even bigger when he became a grandparent. His grandchildren thought their "Papa" hung the moon and he felt the same about each one of them. John's kind, gentle, caring heart and soul touched all who knew him. His loving caring sisters and their families brought so much joy, fun, laughter and excitement to his life that will be forever cherished by us all. John's bright mind and inquisitive nature gave us wisdom and knowledge that will carry on with all who loved him. A celebration of John's life will be held by the family at a later date.
