He was preceded in death by his parents, LeeRoy Lord Sr. and Gladys Nettie Lord; his sisters, Angela Lord and Brenda Lord; and his brother, LeeRoy Lord Jr.

John’s memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him, and the many stories shared of fishing trips, motorcycle rides, and the unmistakable sound of AC/DC playing in the background. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
