Youngest son of Graydon Wakefield Collier, Sr. and Ruth McNeill Gookins. He was born in Anderson, Indiana.
On December 15, 1956 he married Barbara Oakes (also from Anderson, Indiana) in San Diego, California. They had one son: John Gookins Collier, Jr.
John died on January 1, 1959 at 25 years of age. I'm not sure how. If anyone knows, please let me know. He was my husbands' mom's dear cousin, and she always remembered him and his brother.
After John passed away, his wife, Barbara Oakes, married his older brother Graydon (in 1965, in Indiana), and they lived happily together for the remainder of their lives. Her headstone has Romans 8:28 on it, which is "All things work together for good."
