John was born April 2, 1967 in Lafayette to Pauline (Slavens) Anderson of Pine Village and William H. Inman of Wolcott.
After graduating high school John worked at Rite-Way Concrete Seal Systems for 4 years. In 1989 John moved back to Oxford, where he reconnected with his wife, Janice McMurtrie. John began working at Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA) soon after the Lafayette plant opened. John had been employed at SIA for over 28 years and planned to work their until he retired. John climbed the ranks at SIA and was currently a Specialist Supplier Quality Assurance. At SIA John was instrumental in the quality assurance of all future models. He was part of a team that helped launch the Tribeca, the Imprezza and he was currently helping with the newest SUV.
John married Janice L. McMurtrie on December 29, 1990 at the Methodist Church in Oxford. John leaves behind his wonderful and beloved wife, Janice Inman.
John loved spending time with his wife, and they enjoyed traveling, boating, attending sporting events and many outdoor activities. John also loved all his family, his dog “Tux”, Twizzlers, music, all of his nieces and nephews, his friends, NASCAR races, golfing, and working at SIA, but not necessarily in that order. He hated being late, complainers, dressing up, getting his picture taken and dishonest people, but not necessarily in that order. Johnny loved to go to the Oakdale restaurant, and he thought of everyone there as part of his family.
John will be especially remembered for his big heart and that he never met a stranger. For example, the night before he passed away, despite the fact that he was not feeling well, he talked to the hotel front desk employee for over 30 minutes about his family. She later told the family she felt like she knew John and them personally. He gave 100% to everything he did. You could call John any time of day or night if you needed something and he would be there no matter what.
