John Buford Hinesley

John Buford Hinesley, age 74, died Saturday, Dec. 26, 2020 at Jasper Memorial Hospital.

Johnny, as most people knew him, was born in Macon, on June 22, 1946 to the late John Dunn Hinesley and Jewel Buford Hinesley. He was an only child and grew up in Warrenton, and had most recently called Valdosta, home.

Johnny was a veteran serving in the United States Navy during Vietnam. He was employed and retired from Armstrong in Macon, and after retirement he continued his career in sales of various products and companies.

He was a loving father and there was not a person he encountered that he could not make smile and that he did not leave an impression on. He was strong in his faith and had a passion for people and for rare and exotic animals. He will be greatly missed.

Johnny was preceded in death by his parents. Survivors include children, Brittani (Clayton) Bluhm, of Denver, Colo.; Caleb (Hannah) Hinesley, of Monticello; Sidni Hinesley, of Acworth; and Heidi Hinesley of Mesquite, TX; grandchildren, Xander Bluhm, Noah Wafler, and Melody Hinesley.

A private graveside ceremony will be held at a later date. Jordan Funeral Home, Monticello is in charge of arrangements.
