John was born at Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Florida, and graduated from Pensacola School of Liberal Arts. His passion was restoring and showing corvettes throughout the Southeast, which resulted in many first place wins. John was also an avid LSU football fan.

He is survived by his stepmother, Hattie Lou Burks; wife, Penny Browning Young; stepchildren, Jennifer Honeycutt, and Clint and Shannon Honeycutt; siblings, Robyn Young Linton and fiancé Artic McGraw; Jill Wallace Berry, Samantha "Sam" Young Harrison, and Danny Harrison; nephew, Neil "Leroy" McMillan; Blaise Boykin; and niece, Sara Boykin.
