John Doe

John Doe, 78, of Huntersville, North Carolina, passed away peacefully at home on September 28, 2026, surrounded by his family.

Born in Asheville to Robert and Ruth Doe, John grew up with a fishing rod in one hand and a library book in the other. He taught history at Cedar Ridge High School for 34 years, where generations of students remember his storytelling, his Friday trivia, and the way he made every kid feel like they mattered.

John married the love of his life, Margaret, in 1970. Together they built a home full of music, Sunday dinners, and a backyard bird feeder he never let go empty. He swore the cardinals came to visit him every morning.

He is survived by his children, Linda (Mark) Carver and David (Jenna) Doe; five grandchildren, Emma, Jack, Olivia, Sam, and Lucy; and his sister, June Whitaker. He was preceded in death by his wife, Margaret, in 2019.

A celebration of life will be held Saturday, October 10, at 2:00 PM at Grace Fellowship Church, Huntersville. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you plant something that blooms.

Family and friends are invited to share photos and memories on his legacy site at rememery.com.
