He is preceded in death by his Granny, Jean Colgin, his grandparents Neal Ferguson and Jean Holland Ferguson, his Grandpa Dr. Herman Holland, and his uncle Scott Holland.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Charmaine, his precious son, David Jeremiah, of Brooklyn, NY where the three of them attended church at All Saints Church. John is also survived by his Grandad, JR Buzz Colgin, his parents, Johnny and Terrie Colgin, his sister, Paige Colgin. John loved his extended family and enjoyed spending time with each of them.

John was a certified Children's Pastor and worked in children's ministry in Roswell, GA, Atlanta GA and in middle Tennessee. He was a camp counselor many summers at Camp Cherith in Clemson, SC. He really enjoyed the food industry and worked in several restaurants and prepared food at Madison Square Garden and Citi Field in New York. He loved ice hockey, good food, good music, his family and his Lord Jesus. His smile and laughter will be deeply missed. He was full of life, kind-hearted and blessed with a great sense of humor.
