John T. Valentine

John T. Valentine, age 70, of Joelton, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on August 13, 2025.

He was born in Nashville, Tennessee, on January 24, 1955.

John was a devoted husband to his beloved wife, Teresa Valentine, and a proud father

to Samantha (Jeff), Katie (Damian), and Jonathan (Amy).

He was the cherished grandfather of Mathew Ferguson, Savannah Hobbs, Elizabeth Kolozsy, Jocelyn Kolozsy,

Walker Hobbs, Morrison Maloney, Valiant Valentine, and Athena Valentine.

He is also survived by his brothers Robert (Lynette) and Amilia.

John was preceded in death by his parents, Thomas Carney Valentine and Patricia Willean McCullough,

and his brother, Anthony William Valentine.

For over 20 years, John dedicated himself to his work, but his greatest joys came from life's simple pleasures,

listening to music, watching movies, cheering his grandchildren at sporting events, and spending time with them.

His warmth, humor, and unwavering love for his family will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
