John was preceded in death by his wife of 31 years, Carol Elaine Iverson Hommerson, son-in-law, Johnny Hebert, and his parents, Ron and Lois Hommerson.

John grew up in southwest Florida with his family and entered the Navy shortly after high school. He worked as a Machinist Mate 2nd Class Petty Officer for 5 years. After an honorable discharge, he continued his education at Tampa Institute of Technology. He started work at Michelin in Dothan, Alabama where he met his loving wife, Carol. They eventually moved to Simpsonville, SC, where he continued to work for Michelin. John worked for Michelin for 32 years. His accomplishments include 7 patents for tire production. After Carol’s passing, John moved to Seabrook, Texas to be near his family. He kept busy doing the things he loved most, fishing, going to classic rock concerts, reading science fiction books and watching movies. He enjoyed spending time with his family and of course spoiling his dog, Rascal. He also loved creating objects on his 3D printer and painting. He was very focused and always finished what he set out to do.

We remember John as faithful to his family and a hard worker with a quirky sense of humor. He will be deeply missed by everyone. You are gone too soon! We love you and we will see you soon!

He will be buried at Houston National Cemetery at a future date to be determined.
