Nieces and nephews, Jesse Collins, Katie Ashmead, Madison Blake, Cameron Blake and John Austin Ashmead and great nephew & niece Destin & Dia.
John was a loving son and brother and the fun uncle. John had a long career as a motorcycle road racer. The height of his career was his 1989 Daytona 200 win.
