John R. Wisham
July 4, 1967 — August 21, 2018
John Robert Wisham, 51, of Central, SC passed away on August 21, 2018. As was usual, he was surrounded by his family and numerous close friends. John was born a firecracker on July 4, 1967 and lived up to that his entire life.
His father, Bill, taught John to love farming, gardening, and anything involving the outdoors. John was most proud that he was able to find and purchase his father's John Deer tractor, which he used to farm with himself. His mother, Edith, was John's first love, and if you ever saw John with his mother, there was no doubt that John was a mama's boy.
John graduated from Gupton Jones Mortuary School, which he affectionately called "Guts and Bones." Most of his life John was a business owner, doing anything under the sun.
John's second love and soulmate was Lynn, and if you spent time with the two of them, you were lucky. The pair were a force to be reckoned with, able to get anything done they put their minds to. John's passion for Lynn was evident in every breath he took.
John's hobbies included gardening, hunting, the annual trip on the World's Longest Yard Sale, and of course, tailgating for Clemson football.
John was also proud that he was able to move both of his brothers back to Central after they had been away from home for many years.
John's father, Bill passed away in 2001. He is survived by his mother, Edith, brother Larry (Mela), brother Dale (Debbie), sister Connie (Billy), Lynn's brother Ed (Karen). John also deeply loved his surviving nieces and nephews Jason, Hunter, Meggan, Leslie, Tyler, Caroline, Jared, and Hayden. He had numerous great nieces and nephews as well. His special friend was Griff, a woman who he loved and loved to give a hard time.
Services will be held at the Spittoono Field, 1559 Eighteen Mile Road, Central SC with visitation starting at 1:00, services at 2:00. Casual Clemson or Spittoono attire is requested. A celebration tailgate will follow and everyone is asked to share their favorite story of John. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Road 18 Charities, 1467 Eighteen Mile Road, Central SC 29630.
Condolences may be expressed online at www.RobinsonFuneralHomes.com or at Duckett-Robinson Funeral Home in Central, SC.
