He was one of the last "mountain men" who was happiest in the woods or his garden. John was an Interpretive Park Ranger for the G.S.M.N.P., and later managed the family tour business. His vast knowledge and love of the mountains and his heritage was used to entertain and educate visitors from all parts of the world. John leaves behind his mother, Phyllis Ownby Whaley; sisters, Sandra Bradshaw McMahan and Vicki Whaley Lewis; nieces, Cecily Bradshaw Hamilton, Pace Barclay Mejias, Chelsey Lewis Hicks and Haley Lewis; three grandchildren; thirteen great-nieces and great-nephews who loved him dearly; uncle, Johnny D. Ownby; and many loving friends. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Roaring Fork Baptist Church, 215 Church Street, Gatlinburg, TN. Graveside service will be held 2:30pm Thursday, December 18th at Roaring Fork Baptist Cemetery with Pastor Kim McCroskey. Arrangements by Atchley Funeral Home, Sevierville.
