John was of the Baptist faith. He spent his early years as a farmer but most of all he enjoyed life on the bank of a river or on a boat seat enjoying life passing him by and then when it was either know how or luck pulling in some big ole catfish. His other favorite past time was growing the biggest prettiest garden.
As the last note please remember all of his family and friends he loved dearly and spoke of y’all often.
A graveside service will take place on Monday, April 13, 2026 at Kelso Cemetery at 2:00pm.
