John Maney Embry III, 63

John Maney Embry III, 63, passed away at his home in Georgia with his family on March 26, 2020. John was a loving husband, father, brother and grandfather. He will be truly missed.

John was born June 9, 1956 at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base while his father was in Korea. In 1974, John graduated from Valley High School in Las Vegas and went on to college in California.

John was a mason, working all over Las Vegas building walls and driveways. He also worked at the LV convention center as a carpenter, setting up conventions and booths. In his free time, John was an avid banjo picker, reader and wordsmith.

John was raised in Las Vegas and settled in Georgia, but his heart — and a big heart it was — was always in Montana. He lived in Montana for approximately 12 years and was a member of the Liberty Fellowship Church in Kalispell.

He was truly a dear man and will be missed by many. There are many memories of John but fondly John will be remembered for speaking his mind about his numerous passions, his love of animals and his intellect.

John is preceded in death by his father, John Maney Embry Jr. and his mother, Norma Kay Weaver.

He is survived by his beloved daughters Seanna and Candace; his stepsons Jay and Rodger Gaskill; his wife Gail; his brothers Matthew and Darren (Laura) Embry of Southern California; and sister Michelle (Larry) Spinosa of Kalispell.

Per John’s request there will be no service.
