John loved the outdoors and was an avid deer hunter and enjoyed doing so with his closest friends. In earlier years he enjoyed playing darts, working on race cars and singing karaoke with friends and family. He was full of life and loved to crack a joke to make those around him smile. His love of life and family lead him to be a dedicated carpenter throughout his life. A profession that he thoroughly enjoyed even as a past time.
