John grew up in Tacoma, Wash where he graduated from Mount Tahoma High School then served his country going into the Army for two years.
John is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Sylvia; two stepsons, Michael and Timothy Weeks; and his brother, Timothy Spears.
His passion was playing guitar and going to garage sales where he loved to collect musical instruments, LP records, and anything unusual.
John requested no services. Instead, Neptune Society will scatter his ashes in the Puget Sound.
