John was fortunate for the time spent teaching, traveling, laughing, and making lasting memories with his loved ones.

He will be fondly remembered by his sons, David and Christopher Overall, grandchildren, Dawn (Gannon), Jessi (Mike), Andrew (Amber), and Samantha; great grandchildren, Keegan and Emmry; significant other, Judy Leach and many extended family and friends.
