John Paul Reymond Jr.

John Paul Reymond Jr. went to dance with abandon on the streets of Heaven on the morning of February 11, 2025 at the age of 71. He was a man who loved fiercely, and always prioritized other people above himself. The most important things to him were Jesus, his family, and his love for his country. John was proud to be a veteran of the USAF, serving his country proudly until his retirement in 1997 after 22 years of service. He announced his veteran status everywhere he went, proudly wearing his veteran hat with his pins displaying his accomplishments. He was a member of Oak Grove Baptist church, where he faithfully attended every Sunday. Even at his sickest he would never miss a service, and told everyone he knew about Jesus. He loved the Lord, and would start every morning and every night the same way- in prayer. Rising before even the sun, he would pray over his family and friends, and for those he hoped would know Jesus as he did. He was preceded in death by his parents, John Paul Reymond Sr., and Sarah Frances Reymond, his brothers, Ronnie Reymond and Richard Reymond, and his oldest son, Christopher LeGrande Reymond. He is survived by his wife of 50 years whom he cherished, Sandra Reymond, his daughter Shannon Reymond Nett, his sons James “JD” Nett and Jacob Reymond (Nikole), his eight grandchildren, Ally, Andrew (Ashleigh), Aaron, Tidan, Aiden, Alden, Zowie and Hynleigh, one great grandchild, Kashton, his sister Robin Reymond Hunter (Bill), his two nieces, Lucie Reymond Heritage and Tabitha Reymond, his great nephews Tony and Phoenix, his great niece Sadie and a church family that he loved dearly. Acts 20:35 says “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” An ode to which John truly lived. He will be remembered for his strength in times of trouble, his sense of humor and ability to make everyone laugh, his love for everyone around him, and the wisdom he gave us all. He is forever in our hearts and will be truly missed. Until we are reunited, we will cherish his memory, as he cherished us. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, February 18, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. at Gardendale Heritage Funeral Home; burial will follow with military honors at Pine Bluff Cemetery. The family will receive friends on Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
