John was a 1979 graduate of Anthony Wayne High School. On September 22, 1984, he married Karen (Parris) Beebe at the Missionary Baptist Church near where they grew up and began their lives together. They built their first home together in 1989 on 5 acres in Monclova, Ohio.

John was a general contractor and ran his own business, JEBCO, where work was also a hobby. His customers were like family to him, working with many of them for 20 plus years. He was a man of many trades, nothing he couldn't build or fix. He was a self-taught, skilled Banjo player and enjoyed playing bluegrass music. He was in a gospel band at 15 years old and recorded his first album that year with Bluegrass Gospel - Aires. Music was always a big part of his life, being a member of many bands over the years. He was an avid outdoorsman, enjoyed hunting, hiking, shooting, and riding motorcycles. Spent much of his time working on their cabin in Pennsylvania where the family spent all their summer holidays together canoeing, kayaking, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors.

John is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Karen; his daughters, Megan, and Samantha Beebe both of Monclova; his parents; his brother, Don (Carol) Beebe of Monclova; his sisters, Julie Wohlers of Norwalk, OH and Tammy Beebe of New Hampshire; along with many nieces, nephews; and close in-laws.
