At the age of eighteen John married Mary Alford. John had a successful career in culinary, he was a chef for several years, known for his culinary creations. He was competitive at everything. In 2014, he retired, and began traveling frequently. He enjoyed the beaches. He loved nothing more than spending time with his family. He held many titles in his life, but his favorite role was being a husband and father. He had no favorite color, as he stated he looked good in any color he put on (his girls were his biggest cheerleaders, the boys gave approval of all attire while his wife admired it all). He kept multiple converses, shades, and hats in his closet.
He was a bible believing man of faith and character, with great confidence and class, he did not mind speaking what was on his mind. He held conversations and joked with everyone, everywhere he went. He reminded us daily to never forget God through all situations.
