JOHN HENDERSON OSBORNE, JR. was born August 17, 1928 and went to his heavenly home September 26, 2013 while his loving wife of 58 years, Wanda Jane Wallen Osborne gently sang a favorite gospel song, "O Come, Angel Band."

He was preceded in death by his parents, John Henderson Osborne, Sr. and Maude Duff Ward Osborne and 2 brothers, Dr. Paul James Osborne and Elmer Ray Osborne.

He is survived by 1 daughter, Pamela Fagans; 2 sons, Wayne Keith Osborne and John Henderson Osborne III; 6 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.

Junior, as he was lovingly called by many, served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War, reaching the rank of sergeant while stationed with a MASH unit.

He was baptized into the fellowship of West View Church July 25, 1961. He was ordained as a deacon February 18, 1967 and served his church faithfully until the end. His faith in God never wavered throughout his long illness, as he daily bore his affliction with patience. It is a great comfort to know he is in the presence of the Lord.
