Pastor Black entered this life on February 26, 1949 in Springfield, Missouri to the late Thomas and Elizabeth Garretson Black. He was a graduate of Missionary Baptist Seminary in Little Rock, Arkansas and was the current Pastor of Hopewell Baptist Church, where he had just recently given fifteen years of church leadership. John was a loving husband and father to his family and a dedicated man to his church and community. His civic service was exemplified by his tenure as Chairman of the Cunningham Volunteer Fire Department, a cause he held in high regard. Above all though, John was a dedicated servant to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
He is survived by his loving family which includes his wife, Jonna McCollough Black of Cunningham; daughters, Karen Lyle and husband Greg of Clarksville, Rachel Raines and husband Michael of Timpson, TX, Laura Black of Cordova, TN and her fiance Kurt Neeley of Jonesboro, AR, and Julia Black of Cunningham; and siblings, William Black of Switzerland and Anna Hendrickson of England. He was the proud grandfather of Jesse, Sadie, Luke, and Sara-Kate Raines.
Pallbearers will be Bill Baggett, Roger Baggett, Curtis Rodenhaber, Scott Smith, Bruce Trotter, Tim Ashby, Bobby Richardson, and David Schneck.
In lieu of flowers the Black family wishes for memorials to be sent to the Missionary Baptist Seminary, 5224 Stagecoach Rd., Little Rock, AR 72204.
