Born October 27, 1980, in Columbus, Ohio. His parents were John Douglas Wiggins Sr. and Emma Jane Wiggins. He became part of a large family including 12 brothers and sisters. In the early, he was affectionately called Little John, which was quite ironic given he grew quickly to be 6"3. John Henry , aka Little John, was known for his infectious smile and joking attitude. He graduated from Whetstone High school in 1998. From there he worked various jobs in the fast food and construction industry. He really enjoyed traveling with family, which included a very memorable trip to Pittsburgh PA. He talked about this trip quite a bit because it was here that he reluctantly rode the Duquesne incline up the side of the mountain to enjoy the world-famous view of downtown Pittsburgh. He never forgot this trip. He also enjoyed playing video games with his brother John Jr. and other family members. He was also very fond of the boxing program at the Buster Douglas Center. He is preceded in death by his father, John Douglas Wiggins Sr. He is survived by his daughter Christsha Hunley-Wiggins, His mother, Emma Jane Wiggins and host of brothers ,sisters and numerous nieces and nephews.
