John was a member of John Wesley Methodist Church. He was a graduate of St. Andrews High School. He was known to his family and friends as a man of great intellect and was a well sought out commodity by many trivia players. He was an avid Gamecock fan and he loved gathering around with family and friends to watch or listen to a game whenever possible.
