Obituary
Send FlowersJohn T. Sims was a good-natured prankster who kept his friends in stitches. "You couldn''t be sad around J.T.," said one of his best friends, Phillip Ashworth. "He just would not allow it." Lance Cpl. Sims, 21, of Alexander City, Ala., died April 10 from hostile fire in Anbar province. He was based at Camp Pendleton, Calif. Sims was a good student in high school, and a wrestler. One of his favorite sayings was, "That doesn''t hurt." When he saw friends in the drive-through lane at the Arby''s where he worked, Sims would get on the loudspeaker and tell them there was no food left and to try Wendy''s, friends recalled. While visiting Wal-Mart, he got on the intercom and asked Ashworth and another good friend, Mickey Griggs, to marry him. At some point, he decided he needed some direction, and joined the Marines. "He said that if he''d a stayed here, that he would''ve never made anything out of himself ... and the Marines were the only ones who could force him to make something out of himself," his mother, Margaret Kellum, said.
