He graduated from Johnson County High School in 1969. On December 7, 1974 he married Wanda Cohee in Buffalo. They raised three children, Michael Cohee, and Joshua and Shelby Garro.
John was a truck driver; spending many years working for the Wyoming Highway Department in addition to running his own trucking business.
