Also surviving  are sister, Stephanie of Gauley Bridge; brother, Daniel; and father, Douglas of Falls View. John also has a plethora of nieces and nephews along with aunts and uncles and cousins  that he thought the world of.

John loved spending time with family and friends. He was a top notch bonfire builder and enjoyed the socializing that always occurred with a good fire. He was an avid Cleveland baseball fan and Cleveland Browns fan but also a fan of his kids and grandkids in Norton sports. John also enjoyed NASCAR racing. He was a retired HVAC installer. John never met a stranger.

The family would like to send special thanks to Savannah, Lexi, Eddie and Tammy for being with the family and helping ease their burdens and sharing their memories during this difficult time.
