John Woodyard

John Vincent Woodyard, 91 of Mason, passed away on July 16, 2024. Born to John E. and Blanche M. (nee Hamrick) Woodyard on May 24, 1933, in Parkersburg, West Virginia.

John worked for Ford as an area manager for 27 years and afterward managed auto auctions in California and Indiana.

A dedicated member of the church, he volunteered countless hours on the finance committee, board of deacons and in the choir. John enjoyed the music, but especially singing himself. Being in the choir was something he loved doing throughout his entire life.

John was a veteran in the United States Air Force serving in the Korean War. A patient, kind and caring man who spent extra time with the people he loved. John traveled often and traveled well. He and Judy loved going to the east Caribbean any chance they could.

John would cheer for the OSU Buckeyes every time. A diehard football fan, but never forgetting his beloved Detroit Tigers along the way.
