JOHN COLE MCMAHAN II

To the people reading this article, me and my sister, are asking for any small donation that you could give to help with our father's funeral costs. Our father had passed away unexpectedly due to the accident that had paralyzed his legs. My dad was known for his hearty contagious laugh, who loved everyone deeply on a personal level. He gave loved ones many nicknames as his way of endearment. He grew up without having a father of his own, but that did not stop him from being the best father to me and my sister. He guided us and helped us with our daily lives and developed us into strong mature people. He taught us "that life will be hard, but with strength and persistence you will find your happiness". He grew up tough and raised me, Johnny, to be tough but fair. He raised Debbie to be a secure independent woman, that sought life with a confidence. To not be afraid of whatever life might throw your way because no matter what he always believed in her. We did not grow up being able to buy many things, but he showed us his love with his presence. My father always made an effort to show up to our events in school and sports. Then when we were home with downtime his favorite pass time was to watch movies together. As long as his family was together laughing, smiling, or crying he was at his happiest. Even though he may have passed on from this life, he lives with us spiritually watching over us and laughing with us. We only ask for any small donation you can give to help us pay for his funeral services, any amount will help and will be greatly appreciated.
