John Matthew Ferguson Jr.

He was a family man who enjoyed spending time with his wife Lori, son Josh and grandson, Austin. John and Lori were lovingly together for 44 years, and this May would have been married for 37 years.

He enjoyed spending time with Josh sharing common interests from working on cars to music/concerts and tattoos. John and Austin would spend hours in the kitchen cooking and baking. He loved to make

comfort food for those he loved and was always happy to get a special request. He shared a special bond with his nephew, Hunter and always enjoyed their time together. He was a collector of sports memorabilia and antiques and shared in that with his many friends. He was a prankster and would get the biggest kick out of making people laugh. Their home was full of laughter and love.

Prior to getting married, he served in the National Guard from January 25, 1982 to April 30th, 1982. He was a very social man, always willing to help others and he never met a stranger.
