John Wesley Hampton, 70, of Vonore, Tennessee, passed away on July 8, 2026. Born on March 30, 1956, John was a proud graduate of Farragut High School and Tennessee Tech.
John dedicated 18 years of his career to Nashville Machine Elevator Division and later became a business owner with Dairy Queen. He also worked at Revco during his professional journey.
A devoted husband, John is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Marsha. He was preceded in death by his father, John Hampton Sr.; his mother, Martha Sue Hampton; and his sister, Patti Denise Robertson.
John had a passion for life that was evident in his hobbies and interests. He loved boating with friends and riding his Ranger Polaris. A lifelong fan of the University of Tennessee football team, he enjoyed cheering them on and reminiscing about his own days playing football for Farragut High School as a tight end, linebacker, and kickoff player.
