Obituary For John Louis Maxwell

John Louis Maxwell was a native of Palatka, Florida, born Wednesday, February 15, 1967, to Lewis Maxwell Jr. and Sara Jane Graham. He was educated in the Putnam County School District. John acknowledged Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. He fellowshipped with various churches in the community. He worked in agriculture for many years and enjoyed fishing.
