He served as a student council member at UALR and was an advocate for students with disabilities. He was formerly employed with Union Camp Corporation, Conway and Dillard's Department Store in Little Rock. John made many friends over the years and was a lover of life and dedicated to his family. His smile and fun loving nature will be missed. John was an avid movie goer and liked to attend the opening night of any new film.
