John Griffin Obituary
John leaves his wife, Ashley, and his daughters Lauren and Chloe all of Jacksonville. In addition he leaves his mother, Jane (Bruce) Williams and his father, Walton (Sissie) Griffin of Memphis. He also leaves his brother Mark Griffin and stepbrothers Daniel (Brittany) Williams, and Walter (Mary Ellen) Hoehn of Memphis as well as Jonathan Hoehn of Tampa, Florida. John leaves ten nieces and nephews. He also leaves his father in law and mother in law, Walt and Vickie Caldwell of Jacksonville, Florida and his brother in law, Justin Caldwell of Boiling Springs, North Carolina. He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Nancy and Dr. Ray Ledgerwood and Katherine and Herron Griffin.
John was an avid sports fan. He loved University of Memphis football and basketball and adored his beloved Mets baseball team. John loved soccer and was very involved in coaching his daughters' soccer teams. He also played on a weekly adult league soccer team.
John was devoted to his wife and adored his children. He was a loving man that took pride in his beautiful family. He always supported his daughters in their academic endeavors and supported them in whatever they did. John always made sure we knew he loved us. He will forever be missed. Our hearts are broken. John was our rock and foundation and he will be missed by everyone whose lives he touched. Private services will be held at a later date.
