Also surviving are his aunt and uncle, Vicki and Ben Betts; cousins, Chris and Jessica Betts, and Lane, Matthew, Ameron and Mason Betts, all also of Fuquay-Varina.

Even after leaving this earth, John David blessed others through his unselfish gift of organ donation in the hopes that the recipients can live on because of him.

To honor John David, the family would ask that you show or perform an act of kindness to or a good deed for someone in the coming days.
