John Kellogg Obituary
SHREVEPORT, LA - John Harold Kellogg was a good man. He died on December 21st, 2014 from a tragic gun accident.
John is survived by his wife Debbie Stoll Kellogg of Shreveport and his son John Alex and Brittany Kellogg of New Orleans. John also leaves behind two stepsons, Matt and Heidi Sanders of Bossier City and Justin and Jennifer Sanders of Blanchard; a brother, David and Gail Kellogg of Shreveport; and brother-in-laws Robert and Pam Stoll of Shreveport and Josh Whitehouse of San Francisco. He loved being a grandfather to Lleyton and Lily. John's parents, Bobby and Mary Ann Kellogg, and brother Jim Kellogg preceded him in death. His family will remember him for his love for life and the people around him.
John was a registered nurse who took pride in helping others work towards wholeness. He was known by many for his kind spirit and bear hugs. John tried his best to live by the words of the Serenity Prayer: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." John's favorite place was a piece of family property, where he spent years partaking in "tractor therapy." He and Debbie were recently able to achieve their dream of building a cabin in the woods. John's life and work impacted countless numbers of people and he will be greatly missed.
John's beautiful blue eyes were donated to the Louisiana Eye Bank. A small service will be held on December 24th, 2014 with family and close friends out at "the land."

I did not know John well in school. But the truth about a man comes out from those who knew him in his life and in death. His life WAS his message. So hearing the life he lived and how he cared for people.... matters. I pray he knew Jesus in his heart because if he did, the bible says to be absent from THIS body, is to be Present with The Lord. Make sure you know Jesus friends. All that matters in life, is what you did for HIS glory. John,...you must have done good. I am so sorry family for your tragic loss. Ron Brown- Southwood 1976

To Debby and Family'
John was like the Reader's Digest Column "My Most Memorable Character." Never to be forgotten, his way with people in all walks of life and in all circumstances. I worked with John for several years and one of his most endearing traits and steadfast traits was his humility. Another was his warm smile. He will be remembered by all who worked alongside him or whose lives were made better by having crossed paths with him. God Bless Each of You in Your Loss,

I am so very sorry in the loss of John. I will always remember how sweet and kind John always was to me and others. John was one of my son's dearest friends. I remember John from a small boy when he and Mike played at the end of the driveway and I was afraid they would get run over by the cars passing by. I remember his compassion for others as he became a man. He will be truly missed by all who loved him. Please accept our deepest sympathy. All our prayers and love. The Barber family (

I will always remember the honest and brutal truth that John had said to me. He didn't tell me what I wanted to hear, he told me what I needed to hear. And when I don't want to accept something, I still hear him say "It is what it is". Thank you, John. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

There are no words to express my sorrow at the loss of John. Debbie and John Alex, John spoke of you often and so with so much love over the years I knew him. He was the real deal - a true man of integrity. He was many things to me - coworker, boss, mentor and above all friend. I am extremely grateful to have known him. May the memories of John help you find peace. I love you, both.

I do not know of anyone who ever met John, that didn't instantly love him. He was a joy to work with, to hunt with, and to just be near. He brightened any room he walked in, and always had a joke or a kind word to offer. He was a true friend and a great man. To his family I offer our prayers for comfort and healing, knowing that John is in the Father's arms now. I will miss my friend.

I haven't known john in his later years except for an occasional accidental meeting.
I did know john in highschool and he was full of life and an unbounding source of energy.
He was a friend and a fellow firefighter and I am sure he was a compassionate nurse. From a flight nurse to a fellow nurse and friend you will be missed john.

Debbie, I am at a loss for words, my prayers are with you & your entire family.
An honest man here lies at rest,
The friend of man, the friend of truth,
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm'd,
Few heads with knowledge so inform'd;
If there's another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this.
