He attended Revere School and entered the U. S. Army serving from 1966 to 1968 and in the U S. Army Reserves until 1972.

On March 21, 1981, he was united in marriage to Rhonda Laymon. She survives as well as his children, Mark (Brenda) Kleinert of Keokuk, John D.

John retired from Keokuk Steel Castings after 44 years of employment.

He was a member of Freedom in Christ Church in Kahoka, Local Steelworkers # 3311, and the Alexandria Gun Club. When he was able, John loved to hunt and fish. As his health failed he still enjoyed taking rides and looking for deer. More than anything, John loved his family and family gatherings.
