John served in both the U.S. Army and the Navy, and retired as a proud Seabee warrior. He loved life and lived it with zest.

He was an incredibly generous man, who never hesitated to help or give to those in need. He was committed to his church, First Assembly of God, Lincoln and was devoted to his pastor Jerry Mizell and his wife, Sue.

John was such a big part of our family, as was Charlotte. We will miss him so much. So thankful for the time we did get to spend with him. Our whole family considered him family. Prayers for peace and comfort for his children and grand children.
Sue Mizell - Sister in the Lord
Never has a man impacted my life like John. More than a good church member, John was a loyal friend. For over 18 years he has been an important part of my life. I will miss our visits, trips together, his zest for living, and most of all his kind heart. He did so much good for so many people and never wanted any recognition. He is enjoying the presence of the Lord. May God bless his family with peace and comfort.
Jerry Mizell - Pastor
John was an open handed person, he looked for opportunities to give to others. The best thing I ever received from him is his precious daughter Christiana, my lifelong friend and strong support. Thank you John for instilling your generosity in her, she’s a treasure to me.
