John Emmett Strong, Jr., 78, left this world for Heaven following a brief illness on May 12, 2022, surrounded by love.
John Strong was born April 18, 1944, in Kingstree, South Carolina. He was the son of the late Era Flowers Strong and John Emmett Strong, Sr. He was a graduate of Kingstree High School and the Cincinnati School of Mortuary Science.
John was preceded in death by his loving wife, Gayle Hindman Strong, as well as his mother and father.
John Strong was a man of many interests, namely his grandchildren's activities, WWE wrestling, and what the "happening" was around town. A visit with him was not complete without him inquiring about what the latest news from the metropolis of Kingstree was and if he could get you anything from the store. His neighbors were more like family than friends, his hedges were always trimmed, and no Fulton Avenue squirrel was safe within ten yards of his bird feeders. A sporting event for one of his grandchildren was not complete without him seated on the sidelines, and he patiently tolerated awards ceremonies, plays, and hunting adventures with his buddy Luke. If you told him about an upcoming event, he would smile and say "he'd check his calendar." But, he would never miss it.
He looked forward to outings with his cousin, Jimmy, and dinner at Hannah's. Sunday evenings were his favorite, as he got the chance to host his family for a night of wrestling and his specialty chicken and rice. He loved a good serving of barbecue by his best friend Scott, bream fishing with Luke, key lime pie, and talking about taking the train one day down to Florida for a piece of the real deal.
Surviving John are his daughter Angela (Scott) Feagin, his adored grandchildren, Hannah (Shae) Lane, Mara Louise Feagin and Luke Malloy Feagin, and his Great-Granddaughter, Katherine Ellison Lane, all of Salters, SC.
