John Counce

John died on Tuesday, August 12th at the Magnolia Regional Health Center in Corinth. He was born on March 19, 1991 to Larry and Brenda Cosby Counce in Tupelo, MS. Before becoming too sick to work, he was employed as a stockman at Rogers Supermarket. He enjoyed listening to music and playing his guitar, hanging out and being his brothers "shadow", and taking long walks in the country, if nothing more, just to enjoy nature. John was a "needy" person, because you felt need to be around him just to make your day complete. His family, his friends, and anyone he came in contact with, John really made them feel important, made them felt loved, made them felt "needed"!

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather, James Edward "Ed" Cosby; and paternal grandparents, William Herschel and Martha Louise Counce.

Along with his parents, John is survived by his four brothers, Michael Counce and wife Shawna, Jason, Paul, and Matthew Counce; one sister, Maryanne "April Joy" Counce; a maternal grandmother, Retha Cosby; two nephews, Andy and Aiden; four nieces, Alex, Addie, Arianna, Aubree, and a host of friends.

Visitation will be on Friday, August 15, 2014 from 5:00 P.M. till 8:00 P.M. and from 11:00 A.M. till service time on Saturday.
