John H Odom

John H. Odom, a cherished member of the Greenville community, passed away on March 15, 2025, at the age of 78. Born on March 28, 1946, in Greenville, South Carolina, John's life was a testament to the values of love, adventure, and friendship that he held dear.

John, known affectionately to his friends and family as just "John," was a man whose hands were as skilled as his heart was large. He spent many years as a dedicated carpet layer, a trade that not only showcased his meticulous workmanship but also his desire to bring warmth and comfort into the homes of others. His work was more than a job; it was a reflection of his commitment to service and his connection to the Greenville community.

Outside of his professional life, John was an avid rock hunter, often found at flea markets searching for hidden treasures. This hobby was a perfect blend of his adventurous spirit and his friendly demeanor, as he loved nothing more than sharing his finds and stories with others.

John was the beloved brother of Patsy Brookshire and Edward Odom. He was preceded in death by his brother, King Odom, and sister, Alice Odom. His family remembers him as the loving and adventurous soul that brought joy and laughter into their lives.

John's legacy is one of genuine kindness and an unwavering zest for life. He was a friend to many, always ready with a smile and a helping hand. His absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him, but the memories he created will continue to inspire love and friendship in the hearts of his family and friends.

As we bid farewell to John H. Odom, we celebrate a life beautifully lived and a journey that touched so many. He will be profoundly missed, but the light of his spirit will forever shine in the community he loved so dearly.
