In his spare time, JD enjoyed fishing, turkey and fox hunting, and working on anything that needed fixing. He was very meticulous and always made sure everything was in its place. He was loved by all who knew him and you never saw him without a smile on his face. JD was a friend to all and was always in attendance at many visitations and funerals. During this unique time, we are having a private graveside service but we owe it to him to have a public visitation at a later date. JD was a loving father, grandfather, brother and uncle, and was a caring neighbor and friend.
