John was born September 3, 1921 to John S. and Hazel Stout Wagner in Lasalle, IL, and passed away Friday, December 26, 2014 in Greenbrier Nursing Home. John grew up in Rockford and Peoria, IL. He attended school in Illinois. He was recruited by the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs to play baseball, but decided to serve his country and joined the Army Air Corp.

John was a member of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, American Legion and VFW. He was an avid music lover and playing his saxophone for several area bands and celebrities. He loved to be outdoors, so he could fish and go hunting.
He enjoyed boating and teaching people how to water ski. John enjoyed his relationship with Pat Whitt after his wife passed away. His great sense of humor and smile will be missed by many.
He is survived by his two knucklehead sons, Jack and wife Ginny Wagner of Enid and Bill Wagner of Oklahoma City, grandchildren Laurie Wagner, Shane and wife Heather Wagner, and Scott Wagner all of Oklahoma City, great grandchildren Blaken, Shelby, and Lexis and numerous nieces and nephews.
