John joined the Army after school and served two years before returning home.

The last twelve years, John lived and worked in the Atlanta area where he retired this past February.

John enjoyed life and made friends easily and often. He always put family first before his own needs and loved family get togethers.

Our family chain is broken again as John join our heavenly family above leaving here a daughter, Zepora Shenita Render; two grandsons, Rashod Thomas and Caleb Render; two sisters, Georgia and Carla Mae; one brother, Michael; a special niece, Brandy (Loop Loop); two aunts, one uncle, two sister-in-laws and a large host of loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends to remember his love.
