Born August 29, 1954 at Loves Valley, the son of James Monroe and Syble Faye Rains Hollar, he left this earth and triumphantly entered heaven “glory to God” on Thursday, October 22, 2020 at his residence surrounded by his family.
On January 7, 1971 he married his high school sweetheart Ann Marie Lemke. He loved her every day of their life together for over 50 years. John graduated from Thackerville High School and continued his education at Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas from 1976 to 1978. He received a master’s degree in Theology from Zoe International University and a Doctor of Divinity from Life Christian University.

John worked for Santa Fe Railroad from 1973 to 1982. He was a prolific guitar player, a talented artist and lover of horses. He was an intellectual thinker and a lover of literature.
