John Lawrence Greer
March 28, 1951-November 15, 2020
John Lawrence Greer, 69, of Gordon, GA, passed away at Rainey Hospice House of Anderson, SC on November 15, 2020 due to complications of heart failure and kidney cancer.
John was the son of the late William Dallas Greer and the late Ellen Georgia Burton Greer Russell.

He is survived by his daughters, Melissa Greer Koontz and Mary Greer Burnley, his brother, Larry Greer, his eight grandchildren, and six great grandchildren. He is also survived by his 22-year life partner, Sue Harden.
John grew up in Anderson, SC. He worked for Bell South for several years before getting a great job opportunity with DaTel Communications. His job with DaTel landed him and his family in Ringgold, GA for several years.
John enjoyed tinkering with anything he got his hands on. This tinkering included working on cars.
His love of cars and his work with DaTel Communications turned into a love of travel coast to coast. This brought him to many different places that he called home. His last landing was Gordon, Ga where he lived for 20+ years.
John was a hardworking man who loved his family and friends. He was well liked by all who met him.
The family will hold a private life celebration at a later date.
