In Memory of a Special Brother
Today is full of memories
of you my brother laid to rest.
Not every one of them is filled
with happiness, some are bittersweet.
This one thing is true - you were someone special.
I remember your loving heart,
Even though you had a swearing mouth
For you were someone special.
They tell me there was so much pain
when it was time to let you go.
There is so much I wish I had time to say.
That’s why this special message
is sent to heaven above
for the angels to take care of you
and give you all my love
For you were someone special.

To Connie and family, I send my sympathy in the homegoing of John. Did not know him well but the times I was around him he was always a gentleman. May God be with you and help comfort you. John will always be nearby. God Bless the family especially you, Connie.

John you were a wonderful husband and father. You made the best meatloaf and I always love coming over to visit and having some with all of you. You could be funny and always had some type of advice to give even when it was something you didn't want to hear but needed to. I love you and miss you but I know that you are free and having fun in heaven with all those who went before you.

John's Obituary

John S. Ganaway, age 79, passed away at his home in Fort Wayne, surrounded by his family on Thursday, April 4, 2019. He was born on May 24, 1939 in Fort Wayne, Indiana to John and Sylvia (Williams) Ganaway and attended Central High School. He honored his country by serving in both the Army and the Air Force.  During his employment years, John worked at Wayne Candies, Mattel, and Fort Wayne Developmental Center.  John is survived by his beloved wife of almost 41 years, Connie; sons, Mark (Doris) Muhummad, Joshua, DeAndre Hopkins; daughters, Connie Faye, and Stephanie (Brian) Claggett; grandchildren who were like children to him, Keondranea Davis and Antissa (aka Kaven) Knuth; brothers Warner (Maeline) Williams, Donald (Julie); sisters, Marie and Tara and a host of nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren. John was preceded in death by his parents; daughter Carol Denise Harvey; sisters, Sharon Allen and Anna Nickens.  In John’s final days, Visiting Nurse was a tremendous help to him and the family so the family asks that donations be made to Visiting Nurse at http://www.vnfw.org/donate-now/.  In lieu of a memorial service, the family asks that you leave your memories, pictures and/or words of encouragement here for the family to enjoy for years to come.

Peaceful rest to my friend John. He was a guy who taught an old dog like me different ways of looking at things. 

He was opinionated and unfiltered endearing qualities in my book. 

I suffered a life altering injury about a year ago and he was the first person to appear at my door to remind me I was still able to come home. 

 We discussed his recent medical information. I had to borrow one of his menthols.

Condolences to Connie and family.
