John Howard Futrell
April 14, 1952 — January 8, 2023
John H. Futrell (Jack), 70, of Camillus, passed away peacefully at his home January 8th, 2023. Born April 14th, 1952 to Billy and Dorothy (Mahar) Futrell of Marcellus, NY.
John is survived by his daughter Somer G. (Futrell) Fox of Baldwinsville, NY and his son William H. Futrell of Cayuga, NY. His brothers William J. (Mary) Futrell of Evans, GA, and Stuart Futrell of Clay, NY. Nephews Christian Futrell of NH, and Will Futrell of Syracuse, NY. Nieces Melissa Futrell (Matt) Johnson of GA, and Jessica Futrell of Baldwinsville, NY. And his grand children Kaylee R. (Jose) Gomez of Syracuse, NY, James P. Wilson at Langley AFB, VA, and Hannah Wilson of Baldwinsville, NY. Also survived by many great nieces, nephews, and his cat Bubby 2.
John was predeceased by his parents Billy and Dorothy Futrell, brother James Futrell, and nephews Michael Futrell and Adam Futrell.
John, who was also known as Jack, was known to be an extremely loving and caring person. He often thought of others before himself, especially the ones he loved. A graduate of Marcellus High School, John operated the crane at the Solid Waste Authority, then worked for the US Postal Service before retiring. He enjoyed history, reading, hiking, biking, target shooting, coin collecting, cooking, road trips, and going to his childrens' sports games and school concerts. John also had a talent for singing and whistling. He became the youngest member of the quartet group called the Doobie Doos. John also enjoyed singing his children to sleep at night, and then his grandchildren. He will be missed dearly.
Per his wishes, there will be no services. There will be a celebration of John's life at a later date in Marcellus Park. John requested hiking to the top of Blue Mountain in the Adirondacks to release his ashes. Both places were dear to him and often brought his children and their friends there.
