Johnny Joe "John" Pollock, 50, of Inman, died Friday, March 14, 2025, at Hospice House, Hutchinson, with his family by his side. He was born April 24, 1974, in Hutchinson, to Homer Wayne "Skip" and Mary Jo (Watkins) Pollock.
John graduated from Hutchinson High School in 1992, and received his bachelor's degree from KU in 1996. He was inquisitive and enjoyed the challenge of learning new trades. As an entrepreneur, John owned and managed health clubs, including Bodies in Motion and then Body and Soul, Caribbean Tan, and Academy Martial Arts/Lil Dragons. (He even held a black belt in karate). In addition, John was a business and leadership consultant for John Maxwell Certified Consulting and Director of Operations for A.W.E. Inc.
John's hobbies and interests were just as diversified as his jobs as he enjoyed motorcycles, gun collecting, fishing, and reading. In addition, photography, working on house renovations, cooking for his family and friends and anything to do with horticulture were just a few of his other interests. If John did not know how to do something, he would research it on the computer. Despite his health challenges over the past 17 years, John strived to be there for his family and friends. He was an amazing father and supportive husband.
On February 2, 2003, he married Alisha Leigh Delehoy, in Gatlinburg, TN.
John is survived by: his wife and best friend, Alisha of Inman; children, Kayleigh Pollock of Coeur d'Alene, ID, Tamra Pollock of Scottsdale, AZ, Grace Pollock-Gomez (Daven) of Winfield, Noah Pollock (Brisa) of Hutchinson, and Paige Pollock of Inman; grandchildren, Daven "Junior" Gomez, Leo Gomez, Lola Gomez, Soul "John Junior" Gomez, and another grandchild on the way; mother, Mary Jo Swenson (Paul) of Inman; father, Homer "Skip" Pollock (Oma) of Oklahoma; and a brother, Scott Wayne Pollock of Iola.
He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents.
Celebration of Life service will be announced at a later date.
