John was married first to Lou Biggs and they were parents of Helen, John 'Buddy', and Matt Witt. John was shot and killed while camping on Chilhowee Mountains with a group of local men who loved to camp up there, hunt, cook, and sometimes drink a bit too much - which is what happened when Tom Corvin shot him at close range with a shotgun. Newspaper headline read, "Trivial Affair Said to Have Provoked Slaying."

After John died, Lou married 2nd Herman Wright and they had a daughter Carolyn.
