John was the son of John Gordon Agee, who was a newspaper reporter. His father died April 30, 1974, and is buried somewhere in Glendora, California.

John attended Ogden High School in Ogden, Utah, where he was a National Merit Test semi-finalist. He attended Weber Junior College as part of the last graduating class before the school shifted to a four-year college. He was on the honor roll, was selected as a participant in the United Nations Association, and was in the top four of his graduating class.

John attended the University of Utah where he was also on the honor roll. He graduated in 1964, and received a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship for graduate studies. His graduate studies were undertaken at Duke University in Durham, N.C.

John was a beloved teacher in the Ogden School District, teaching at Ben Lomond High School and Central Junior High (aka Central Middle School). In 1972, he was selected to attend the National Science Foundation--Stanford University Social Studies Workshop along with his colleagues Monte Ogden and Mike Monson. Later that year, he was also selected to attend the "Mini Institute for Public School Teachers" as part of a team including Dr. Russell Carruth, Dr. Vern Call, Monte Ogden, and Mike Monson.

In 1976, he was tournament chairman for the Golden Spike Speech and Debate Meet's annual competition.

John was active in the community, and, at one time, hosted the GOP mass meetings at his home, though he later changed his affiliation to Democrat.

John was twice married and divorced.

John was intelligent, witty, and creative. He was known to make up "retirement diplomas" for fellow educators retiring.

John was admired, loved, and is missed.
