John was born on May 20, 1952, in Greensboro, North Carolina, to the late Fred and Marie Jones. He was an employee of the Greensboro Coliseum where he worked for over 26 years. While working there he met many of the ACC teams, and a lot of famous musicians. He particularly liked playing ping pong with John Denver when he was in town. John loved Duke basketball, NASCAR, and was a big follower of Tom Brady.

He is survived by his sister, Judy Hudson of Ocean; niece, Sandy Gunnell of Ocean; great niece, Leah Gunnell and partner Jeremy Stockdale of Havelock: nephew, Barry Woodell and wife Dawn, of Gibsonville; and great-nephews, Cody Woodell and Jacob Woodell, both of Gibsonville.
