John was born on December 1, 1958 in Flora, IL, son of the late Guy and Jean (Manson) Magill Jr. He was a retired military veteran. John enlisted in the U.S. Army after high school, joining the 82nd Airborne. Complications from a parachute drop accident led to finishing his career as a reservist. For decades underwater scuba diving was a strong passion of his. Achieving master instructor status, he taught many students to enjoy the sport safely. As an avid military history enthusiast reading countless books, researching and visiting museums battle sites and memorials was a lifelong activity.
