John was born at home in Hope, Missouri, on June 19, 1940. He graduated from Soldan High School in St. Louis, Missouri in 1958. He received his B.S. Degree from Lincoln University (Jefferson City, Missouri) in 1968; his Master of Arts in Teaching from Harding University (Searcy, Arkansas) in 1972; his Specialist in Education degree from Arkansas State University (Jonesboro, Arkansas) in 1977; and his Doctor of Education from the University of Mississippi (Oxford, Mississippi) in 1982.

Dr. Enloe dedicated his life to the education of young people with sixteen years as a classroom teacher in Missouri, two years as an elementary school assistant principal, twelve years as a superintendent of schools and nineteen years at Faulkner University. The last seventeen years of his working career were spent as the Vice President for Academic Affairs at Faulkner. Dr. Enloe expressed the most rewarding part of his tenure was "working with students having difficulties and seeing them achieve and succeed in the end." He wanted to be remembered as an advocate for the students.

He was a faithful member of the church of Christ serving in deacon and eldership capacities at several congregations throughout his life. He was a Godly man, raising his children to know and love the Lord and be active in his service. His proudest accomplishments include the faithful service of all his children and their families in the work of the Lord.

He was an avid sportsman; he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time with his buddies in the woods. He also enjoyed watching sporting events, especially at Faulkner University or anytime one of his children or grandchildren were playing.
