The young man, for whom the scholarship is named, was a young man who worked hard, had just ok grades even though he studied hard, but had a lot of determination to succeed. He went to Abilene Christian University on a Golf Scholarship and again was just ok, but he never failed to give it all he had, so he and the golf team succeeded.
He received a degree from ACU and married a fine young lady, Amy, from Weatherford, Texas. The future looked bright but God had other plans and he went to be with the Lord at the young age of 26.
John’s motto was:
