He was born August 11, 1986, in Winona, MS. and later along with his family moved to Joliet, IL. John is survived by his loving parents, Mary and Sam Currie, Jr. and John (Cassandra) Miers. John was always full of life and loved to be around his family. Starting out his life in such a small southern town, John and his little sister were always joined at the hip. Through his childhood years he became very active in sports especially in basketball. John played in various YMCA programs and later on played in elementary, and junior high and won many awards and championships. John has always been very competitive even when playing a simple game of UNO. He would not stop until he won a game and if that did not happen, he would say, let's just quit, this game is taking too long!! That has always been his nature to be first at everything that he did. He also loved to read mystery thrillers and then sit and talk about them for hours!! He was never short of a conversation!! John was always compassionate about his family, never forgot birthdays, holidays or any special moments. It goes without saying, that these acts of kindness will forever be missed.
