John Sellers Obituary
Marietta, GA - John (Jack) Lauder Sellers, 49, of Marietta, Georgia passed away Sunday unexpectedly. He was born March 6, 1970 in Tallahassee.

Jack was raised on the family farm near Lake Jackson, where he and his brother helped his Dad raise angus beef cattle by working after school. Chores were not always easy and pay was never enough. After college Jack moved to Marietta and went to work for Publix Grocery.
He is survived by his son Calvin, Becky Lentz and her daughter Lindsey, parents Claude and Linda Sellers, brother Chip and nephews Spin and Warner as well as a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins.

My cousins Jack, Chip and I played together as children at their grandparents farm and at St Teresa Beach, truly great memories. We didnt really get to know each other as adults, him living in Marietta, and rarely seeing each other at family events but he was family and I will miss him nonetheless. Rest in Peace Jack.

I cant think of a day knowing Jack that he didt make me laugh. From first meeting him in the Fall of 1989 in Troy to linking up at Homecomings 10 years later to reconnecting on Facebook years later, I always felt like I was around my brother, because I was. I will miss his humor, his laughter, and just him all around. You are and will be missed my brother. In the Bond- Delta Chi Fall 1989

Sellers was a great friend in college. We reconnected on FB years later and my life is better because I knew him. I will miss him and his humor greatly. Prayers to Calvin, Becky, and the entire Sellers family.

I remember helping Claude teach Jack and Chip to drive my 1973 Volkswagen beetle. The farm was a great place for kids to drive, especially the bug. What fun it was seeing them both drive and shift those gears. Great memories.
