John was born April 2, 1961 in Rochester NY. He was the son of the late Liston Eugene Baldwin and Louise Jean Diekert Baldwin. John grew up in Pensacola, Florida. Growing up he was an avid surfer and his love for the beach lasted his whole lifetime. As an adult, he relocated to central Florida where he met the love of his life, Cheryl. John and Cheryl were married September 1, 1990.He met many lifelong friends throughout his construction and handyman career with his charming personality and goofy sense of humor. John was known for his honesty, work ethic, and attention to detail in his field. John was a loving and devoted husband of 35 years and a phenomenal father to Hannah and Haley. John's daily goal was to make his wife laugh. He loved to make people smile and was known as the fun loving favorite neighborhood dad – skateboarding, bike riding, and rollerblading after work, no matter how tired he was.

After moving back to the Panhandle and then again to Knoxville, TN, John found his love of the mountains. He loved the change of seasons and enjoying the outdoors. He loved exploring nature with family. John moved back to Florida to help care for his parents, who he loved dearly, throughout the end of their lives. He then moved with his wife, Cheryl to Summerville, GA to retire on their property in the mountains with plans to watch all of the amazing sunrises and sunsets, putter around on his tractor, and play with his beloved grandchildren. Before John's passing, he was able to build a home, much of it himself, and achieve some of his lifelong dreams.
