His mother Annie Turner and father Ned LeJeune, along with sister Rita Amy eagerly awaited him with open arms. John was born on November 18, 1934 in Church Point. While visiting his sister in Westlake, he met his lifelong partner and wife, Abbie Faye Reed. Together for almost 54 years, they weathered life's ups and downs. They raised four children and lived long enough to see their grandchildren and great grandchildren. John spent many years on the road as a cross - country trucker with Younger Brothers and a member of Teamsters local 969. Retiring from trucking due to illness, he went to work at Himont and was a member of Operators Local 106. During his life, he enjoyed camping and vacationing with his family.

James Martin, US Army, Jerad Martin and Nicholas Benoit as well as great grandsons, Corbin Young, Ethan and Owen Corbello. He is also survived by his sister Hilda Leger of Orange, TX and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
