IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Jul 12, 1949 — Sep 26, 2026
Burleson, Texas
John W. Herod passed away peacefully in his sleep on September 26, 2026. He was 77 years old.
John was a man who loved helping others and never wanted anyone to go out of their way for him. If you asked him what he wanted or what he needed, his answer was usually the same: “I don’t care. I don’t want to be a bother.” That was simply Dad. He would gladly help someone else, but never wanted anyone to fuss over him.
John was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Glenda, and his son, Johnny Herod. While our hearts are broken to lose him, we find comfort in knowing that he is reunited with them today. We can only imagine the three of them together again in Heaven, having a blast, with Dad finally free from pain.
He is survived by his children, Debbie Hannon and Adam Herod, as well as seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. His family was his legacy, and the memories he leaves behind will continue through each of them.
Dad, we are going to miss you more than words can say. We will miss your personality, your familiar sayings, and simply knowing you were there. But after everything you have been through, there is peace in knowing you are no longer hurting.
We know Mom and Johnny were there waiting for you.
Love you, Dad. Until we see you again.
Adam and Debbie
