John Hovious

John passed away on Monday May 4th 2020 at age 85.
John was a dedicated bluetick enthusiast his entire life and friend and mentor to many young hunters in around southcentral Indiana.
John and I worked and hunted together for several years back in the early 1970's. He was a life time member of the Ellettsville Coon Hunters Association and was always there any time there was something going on.
Services for John will be at 11am tomorrow morning(May 7th) at the Friendship cemetery in Paragon Indiana.
John was a big reason why myself and many others like me chose to follow the bluetick breed.
He was a good friend and we will all miss him.
