JD spent over 30 years in Chicago working and living with his family. Years later, he relocated to Tennessee and settled in Greenback.

Affectionately known as the Tennessee Cowboy, JD was never short on a story or a joke to make everyone around him laugh. He will be remembered for his animated story telling, sense of humor and love of music.

At JD’s request, there will be no funeral or memorial service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made on his behalf to the American Cancer Society or his favorite publicly funded radio station WDVX (www.wdvx.com).
