Still, Dr. John Lawrence

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. John Still, 92, on February 19, 2026, resident of Palm Harbor, FL and formerly Kings Mountain, NC. John Lawrence Still was born in Winston Salem, NC, son of the late Winnie Vera Mauney and Garland E. Still, brother of Christine and Garland. A graduate of Davidson College, he received a Carnegie Fellowship for his M.A. degree from Peabody/Vanderbilt College and his Ph.D. from Florida State University. His powerful intellect, life-long curiosity, faith, and compassion informed a celebrated career in award-winning, innovative education, active civic involvement, and in raising a loving, creative family with his beloved wife, Pat who passed away in 2014. He will be remembered for his beautiful mind, integrity, generosity, and loving kindness in all actions. His legacy continues through his four children: John, Christopher, Todd and Susan and six precious grandchildren: Hannah, Esther, Julian, Ryan, Isabelle, and Sloan.
