John David Koerth
August 24, 1954 - August 26, 2024

On Monday, August 26, 2024, Mr. John David Koerth passed away. If one word could be used to describe John, it would be "passionate". Over the course of 70 years of life John became known for his passions in life. He was passionate in his love for his wife, children, and grandchildren. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time at his ranch. John was an ardent collector of rocks, fossils, and precious stones. Lastly, he was passionate about the Dallas Cowboys.

John was born on August 24, 1954, in Fort Worth, TX to Dr. Charles John Koerth Jr. and Gladys German Koerth. He married the love of his life, Donna Fava Koerth on June 8, 1980, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Shelby Mississippi.

Throughout his life John had a wide range of accomplishments. As a scholar he attended St. Mary's University in San Antonio and graduated from Sul Ross State University in Alpine, TX. When he worked as a geologist in the oil field, he authored a book, Identification of Cuttings Samples. This book has been used by many companies in the oil and gas industry. As a salesman he received numerous awards for his work including "Salesman of the Year".

Yet beyond his accomplishments it is the memories that he leaves behind that his family cherishes. His daughters, Angela and Lauren, will look back fondly on him coaching softball or bringing his rock collection to their class. John even made an impact on their classmates by giving each child a rock that he had polished, as he taught them about rocks. His family will remember the many vacations they took together. He also took them to games at the old Cowboys Stadium in Irving, where he had season tickets. When they watched the Cowboys at home, he made sure that dinners were planned around the games and that there were always chips and queso. At home he was fondly known as the Cookie Monster because of his love of chocolate chip cookies.

As you can see John was a man of many passions and accomplishments. He is preceded in death by parents, Charles and Gladys Koerth; brother Charles John Koerth III; brother-in-law David Van Every; sister-in-law Mary Jo Zummo; and brother-in-law John Searson. He is survived by his wife Donna Koerth, his two daughters; Angela Langley and husband, James; and Lauren Enger and husband, Kristopher.

John Earl Moore
September 26, 1937 - October 7, 2023
Mooringsport, Louisiana

The life of John Earl Moore will be celebrated with a funeral service at 12:00 p.m., Saturday, October 14, 2023, at Rose Neath Funeral Home, 1815 Marshall Street, Shreveport, Louisiana. Officiating the service will be Pastor Frank Gunn of Broadmoor Baptist Church. Visitation will be held prior to the service at 10:00 a.m. Interment will immediately follow the service at Forest Park Cemetery, 3700 St. Vincent Avenue, Shreveport, Louisiana.

John Earl was devoted in his faith by reading his Bible and daily devotional every morning.

John Earl Moore was born September 26, 1937 in Shreveport, Louisiana, to John Edward and Frances Eloise Moore. John Earl went to be with the Lord Saturday, October 7, 2023 following a short illness, with the love of his life Jon Dell Moore at his side. For over forty years, John Earl was a construction sales representative for Associated Building Supply, Minden Lumber, and Howard Lumber. "Poppi", as John Earl was affectionally referred to by his family, was an avid fisherman and hunter. After catching the biggest Opelousas catfish right out his front door on Caddo Lake, Poppi would fry up the best supper around. In his later years, he became a softie to God's creatures (his beloved dog, Bella, slept snuggled against him each night). John Earl loved to be surrounded by his family and friends and regaled them with his jokes, pranks, and stories. He was also known for his elaborate holiday prayers that warmed our hearts and cooled our food.

Left to treasure John Earl's memory are Jon Dell, his loving wife of 65 years; brothers, Jerry Moore, Tinker Moore and wife Mary, and T-Willie Moore; children, Jeff Moore and wife Sandra, Tina Langston and husband David, and Misty Meendsen and husband Fred; grandchildren, Matthew Bryson and wife Chelsea, Chelsea Scott and husband Alex, Aaron Langston, Christina Causey and husband Jeremy, Peyton Moore and wife Georgie, Erik Meendsen and wife Georgia, and Alec Meendsen and wife Caitlin, along with six great-grandchildren Kylie Moore, Ava Scott, Langston and Lindyn Causey, Barrett Bryson, and Liam Moore.

Honoring John Earl as pallbearers will be Scott Bryan, Matthew Bryson, Jeremy Causey, Aaron Langston, Alec Meendsen, Erik Meendsen, and honorary pallbearer Peyton Moore.

The family suggests memorials may be made to the American Heart Association.

John P. Jones Jr.
May 28, 1943 ~ October 11, 2022
79 Years Old

John P. Jones, Jr, or Johnny as he preferred to be called, passed away September 11, 2022. Funeral service will be held at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery on Monday October 24th at 3:15 pm.

Johnny was born May 28, 1943 to John P. Jones (Pete) and Doris Madeleine (Thompson) Jones, who both preceded him in death.

He is survived by wife Linda Morris Jones; son, Rocky Monroe (Nicole); daughters: Wendy Robyn and Danielle Potteiger (Stefan), stepson Andrew Dillon (Kim); his sister Nanci Vineyard; brothers in law: Roger Morris, Paul Morris, Mike Morris (Barbara), Keith Morris (Marcy). He was also blessed by 8 grandchildren: Madison, Montana, Troy, Madison, Makenzie, Rylee, Shane, Sophia; and 1 great grandchild, Charlee; and a host of loving nieces, nephews and friends.

He was extremely proud of all of his children and the things they have accomplished on their own merits, regretting the time he missed with them.

He had a truly unique sense of humor and was continually the entertainer. He was a very generous person, a gifted musician, die-hard Dallas Cowboy devotee, and had an artistic eye.

He went out fighting, as was his way. He became interested in martial arts while in the Marine Corps. He began studying Kung Fu while living in Ohio. It wasn't until much later in life, while living in League City, that he began studying Taekwondo. He studied for a short time with Al Garza where he attained orange belt. When he moved to Waco he continued with Taekwondo and under rigorous training of Luis Suarez and Domingo Ramos achieved Black Belt rank at age 43. After moving to Victoria, he continued to train with Ralph Jaschke, compete in tournaments and achieved 4th degree rank.

Encouraged by his wife he began teaching self-defense classes and developed his own style of kickboxing - Kardio Taekwondo. His KardioTKD classes were extremely therapeutic and popular. He taught at various venues in Victoria and Houston until age 64 when his joints forced him to stop kickboxing. But he never stopped working out every day and continued his passion for fitness throughout 4 joint replacements. His brothers in law called him the bionic man.

In his later years, he was finally able to talk more about his military service. Instead of being poorly treated, as they were coming back from Vietnam, suddenly everywhere he went, people were thanking him for his service. It even helped his PTSD to improve somewhat.

At age 17, full of teenage angst, he quit sports, band, gave up his full music scholarship and enlisted in the Marine Corps. He was deployed on both 1st and 2nd Anglico teams as the radio operator, parachuting into the jungle to direct air operations and support. He spent time on bases in Hawaii and Guantanamo (Cuba) and from there flew to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. Once their team was stranded in the jungle for a month. Because the classified missions occurred while the US was only in "advisory" capacity, he was not eligible for any medals even though he was in combat situations. Thankfully, he fared so much better than most and his active duty was up just before things got really terrible. He loved that 2 of his children also serve(d) in the military.

The last few years his health dramatically declined, but he started fishing with other veterans and friends and it brought him much joy and many new friends. A celebration of life will be held at a later date at the Indianola Pier.
