John was a member of McRoberts Old Regular Baptist Church. He was a long standing member of the Masonic lodge and National Wild Turkey Federation.

John worked various jobs in his life time. A "Jack of all trades." He was principal, a salesman, a construction business owner and mail route postal carrier. He was a board member for Kentucky Farm Bureau. He loved gardening and proudly showed off his flowers and vegetables each season. He and his wife found it very peaceful to sit outside looking out over the tree tops from high up on his mountain home.

John had a generous heart and family was everything to him. He was always there for family and friends and when needed offered a helpful hand. When he laid his head on the pillow at night, he wanted to be at peace. He is at peace now.
