John was a hardworking man who loved God and loved people well. He was always ready and willing to help anyone in need, whether he knew them or not. His wife has been known to say, "He would just buy things so he could have them in case someone needed to borrow them". He retired from Arkla Gas/CenterPoint Energy after 40 years of service. He then worked for D'Arbonne Water System for 2 years before officially retiring.
He was a loving husband and father who he put his family above himself daily. He enjoyed being outside, riding in and attending rodeos, working with cattle, hunting, farming, and spending time with his friends and family. He brought smiles to those around him and always made everyone feel loved. He cherished his wife and daughter and loved them deeply. He also loved sharing his life stories about growing up and he always knew how to brighten up a dark day. He now walks hand in hand with His Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
