| 2854 | Everyone who knew John has memories of his terrific sense of humor and good times spent visiting and laughing with him. He was a 1970 graduate of Flora High School, and had worked at Holland Truck Stop, on a horse farm in Florida, as well as Clay County Industries and Wal-Mart. For years he and family would go to a campsite on Trago Lake that he put a cabin on, and where he liked to fish and relax in the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting and taking care of his dogs over the years, and would cultivate a garden every summer with the hopes of a flourishing crop of vegetables, especially big tomatoes and peppers. John spent a lot of time in his workshop crafting woodworking ideas into reality and was often able to see the possibilities to turn a discarded object into a neat creation. Music was an important part of Johns life since childhood, and he played a variety of instruments including guitar and bass guitar, harmonica, mandolin, keyboard, and even dusted off an old accordion once and a while. He was a founding member and first Commander of the Flora Sons of the American Legion, and he and Tammy have been part of Santas Smiles in Clay county to help many kids and families have a brighter Christmas. John had a soft heart for pets, and he and Tammy opened their home to the Clay County Animal & Rescue foster program for dogs. An avid St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan, he also loved watching football. He had been a past member of the Eagles, Moose, and Odd Fellows. | Akes, John Robert (I44455)

| 2863 | Facebook message from Gayla Tanner (June 27, 2014): "I'm sorry I didn't post sooner, we've had problems reaching some family, and the day was chaotic. Poppy passed away today at 2:55pm. I had taken him to the hospital Wednesday after he ditched his car. He had a bad laceration on his arm, which he said he got falling into the dresser. They admitted him because his sodium levels were really low. They said it could cause his pain and dizziness. They X-rayed his chest to make sure he didn't crack a rib, but instead of a break they found a shadow on his lungs. They did a CT scan and it showed that he clearly had an advanced form of cancer. We decided not to tell him what it was until this morning because my brother, Leon, and already left and we wanted the doctor there when we talked to him. This morning the doctor told him his options and he insisted on going home. We started making arrangements with hospice. At lunch he started choking. His lungs were filling up. They gave him some medication to help dry out hos lungs and to help him rest. While we were talking to the hospice coordinators he started to decompensate quickly. And then he simply stopped breathing. It was all so fast we hadn't even told all of the family about the cancer before he was gone. We will work out details for a visitation and funeral a little later, we all need to regroup after today." | Lemons, Charles Franklin 'Charlie' (I326)
