John graduated from Hot Springs High School. He loved being outdoors as much as he could and would be found fishing every chance that he got. He was an old soul who loved listening to music made way before his time and could quote it word for word. For those who knew him and were loved by him, they knew that they had found a forever friend. He will forever be missed by those who loved him the most.
