MONTGOMERY

John F. Montgomery passed away peacefully at his home on August 31, 2025. He was a proud U.S. Marine veteran and a longtime employee of RaLin Construction. John loved riding motorcycles, spending time at his lake lot, and the many friendships he made there—but above all, he cherished his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Andrew and Bonnie Montgomery; his brother, Mark Montgomery; and his daughter, Amanda Early.

John is survived by his loving wife, Paula Montgomery; his sons, Richie (Wendy) Montgomery and Cory (Alicia) Montgomery; his daughter, Missy (Britt) Ragland; grandchildren, Rodney Early, Kennedi (Blaine) Wilson, Alexa, Carsen, and Evan Ragland, Carlie Montgomery, Ella, Cale, and Hadley Montgomery; and great-granddaughter, Landry Wilson.

A celebration of life will be held at the family home on September 13, 2025, at 12:00 p.m.
