John grew up in west Tulsa and Sapulpa area. John attended Webster Tulsa Schools and Sapulpa Public School. He spent a lot of time running dogs, hunting and fishing in the Illinois River. In his youth you would find John ridding dirt bikes in west Tulsa, rock climbing and four wheeling. 

John spent a lot of time on the ball fields with his children. He was the loudest in the stand and the most opinionated. He was his children’s biggest cheerleader. John greatly adored his grandbabies. He cherished and loved our family trips to Blue Hole. His goal was to teach his grandkids life skills and how to have a loving heart with respect. He enjoyed many Saturday morning breakfasts with his family. 

He worked at Amaco and that’s where his love for driving the highways started. He worked for many trucking companies but proudly started his own truck business in 2018 known as Assured Dump Trucking. 

Most thought Big Johns name came from his size, but it really came from his heart. John loved all people and touched many lives. He was deeply loved and will be missed by all who knew him.
