Meet Our Staff

John’s roots run deep in Corpus Christi where he has been part of several  successful family owned and operated businesses.  All of those businesses have cared for Corpus Christi residents spanning back to 1966.  John got involved in the funeral industry in 1994 by providing funeral homes, limousines throughout South Texas and the Valley. After selling the limousine business John moved to Kerrville, Texas and continued  broadening  his knowledge in the funeral business to include managing the preneed department and crematory for Kerrville Funeral Home.  In wanting to know all aspects of the funeral industry, he spent some time on the road representing Matthews Casket Company calling on Texas funeral homes providing funeral products. After determining that he really liked helping families, in their time of need, he went back to school and obtained his Funeral Directors license and returned to Kerrville Funeral home as a funeral director and operations manager of Kerrville and Kimble Funeral Homes.  Family always being top priority to John,  family called upon his help, so he moved back to Corpus Christi.  He was asked to help one of his 5 siblings to position a company to take public or sell. After a few years he was instrumental in selling his brother’s company to General Electric.  Being that he was the backbone of the company he was asked to stayed on and run the business for GE. But the day came to choose Odesa, Texas or Corpus Christi, Texas and the choice was easy for John.  This was a true opportunity for John to return to his real passion and that was carrying for families.  John is our Funeral Home Manager for Seaside Funeral Home and Corpus Christi Funeral Home. He and his wife Kimberley have been married since 1989 and have one daughter and a son who is also a funeral director. He is also blessed to have one grandson and hoping for more grandkids in the future.
