On Thursday, Oct. 22, 2020, John Y. Hooks, Jr., 60, of Kittanning, went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, after suffering a massive heart attack.
John was born Sept. 8, 1960, in Armstrong County Memorial Hospital. He was the son of John Y. Hooks, Sr. and Colleen Catherine Hooks, of Applewold, Pa.
John was a 1978 graduate of Kittanning Senior High School after which he attended the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown for Civil Engineering on a full basketball scholarship. John worked for Bracken Construction Co. from 1981-1996, J.C. Lee Construction from 1996-1998 and was currently employed at Lindy Paving where he was an estimator for 22 years.
John is survived by his loving wife, Melody Hooks; two sons, John III and Nathanael; three grandchildren: Bentley, John IV and Scarlett; his sisters, Sylvia and Sandra; his brother, Aaron Hooks; one nephew; and five nieces.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John Y. Hooks, Sr. and Colleen Catherine Hooks; and his sister, Sharon Louise Hooks.
John taught adult Sunday school and sang in the church choir for 40 years. His faith in God was extremely important to him and he handed down that legacy to make sure it was important to his family. Our faith in God is what is getting us through this rough time. Knowing the fact that he is in Heaven and did not suffer brings us great comfort. We thank you for your prayers.
Interment will be in Kittanning Cemetery
