He joined Belview Baptist Church at an early age and remained a member until his death. 

John began farming at a very early age and worked as a farmer until his retirement in 2017.  He loved farming and working outside in the yard. After his retirement, his passion for working outside remained and he added a new passion for lawn care. He loved his music (especially Johnny Taylor). He loved dancing and was always the life of the party. 

In 2024, with his health failing, he moved to Conyers, GA with his niece Jackie King. On January 5, 2026, he departed this life at Westbury of Conyers in Conyers, GA at the age of 73.
