A native of Walterboro John was an avid fisherman and loved the outdoors. He was known for his love of animals, and was always willing to help those in need. If he was near water you would find him with a rod and reel in his hand, and his faithful dachshund Skittles by his side. He was a huge Gamecock’s fan, and enjoyed following the game. He was a jokester and a prankster, who always aimed to get a laugh. He loved his family dearly. He will be greatly missed by us all. May God guide him home; finally back into his mother’s arms. Memorial Service to be held for close friends and family at the residence of Gloria Lyons. 4310 Sniders Hwy, Walterboro, SC Saturday, December 3rd at 2:00.
