Johnny Lynn Adkins, 64, passed away peacefully on December 23rd, 2019 at his home in Holland, MI after a courageous battle with cancer. John was born on July 16, 1955 in Poplar Bluff, MO to Jackie “Jack” and Doris (McKinzie) Adkins. He was a 1973 graduate of Somonauk High School, Somonauk, IL. John was a Dispatcher for YRC Holland, INC., of Holland MI for over 25 years. He was happily married to his high school sweetheart, Julie (Hill)
John had a great sense of humor and never met a stranger. He enjoyed a life of simple pleasures; spending time with his family, listening to great music, riding his Harley, cruising in his hot rod, a bright red Dodge Challenger, and cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals and the Oakland Raiders.
John is survived by his wife, Julie; daughter, Jolie; granddaughter, Riley; mother, Doris Adkins; brothers Larry (Kelly) and Keith (Kathy) Adkins; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Jack Adkins; brother, Mike (Robyn) Adkins; and faithful feline companion, Murray.
