of West Memphis, AR

August 11, 1969 - June 8, 2024

John William Friday, 64, passed away on June 8, 2024, in Memphis, TN. He was born on August 11, 1969, to Mr. R.G. Friday and Mrs. Sue B. Friday in Memphis, TN.

He was a faithful member of First United Methodist Church, where he played the piano and participated in various church activities. During his downtime, you could find him enjoying a Razorback, Cardinal, or hockey game. He also enjoyed music, fantasy football leagues, and following his niece and nephew's activities.

John was an active member of his community from an early age. He was always involved in the church, Boy Scouts, and the social group SPO, and then became a leader of the school band.

This continued through college and was respected by everyone fortunate enough to come in contact with him.

This respect continued as he moved into the business world after college. None of us were surprised that this quickly became the business world of music.

He changed cities and jobs several times but always remained devoted to his family and friends, near and far.

When he returned to West Memphis, he became involved in the local community theater and fell right back into playing the piano at church, his primary love.

Becoming Uncle John was a role he cherished and loved.

Those left to cherish his memory are his sister, Diane Friday Freeman (Tim); nephew, Jake Pardew; niece, Casey Friday McNamee,

He was preceded in death by his parents.
