John thank you for your kind heart and leadership in the North Texas Chickasaw community. Until we meet again.
Jessica Johnson and Cory Werthen
My Condolences to the family. All My Love And Respect .
John was a good man with a quiet spirit and a ready smile. A man of many talents he was proud of his heritage and always had a story to tell. He couldn’t keep silent about his Lord and shared his testimony often, always with a heart of love. I can just imagine the joy & excitement at the latest Central Baptist heavenly roll call! Lifting up Pam and Forrest and their families in prayer during their sorrow and temporary separation.
My Mother and I were deeply saddened to hear of John’s passing. John was a fine Christian man and a significant influence for good in others’ lives. We share in this time of grief but also share in the love and memories of John. We’re both looking forward to seeing him again in Heaven.For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12
Our condolences to the family of John Atkins. He was an inspiration and true to his heritage. We at the N Texas Chickasaw Council will miss him dearly.
