John Joseph Sepesi

Sepesi, John Joseph Jr., age 44, of Powell, went to be with the Lord on his birthday, September 5th, 2014. John was a devoted and loving father. He was baptized at Halls Christian Church and attended there most of his adult life. He was also a member at First Baptist Church in Powell. John was a contractor by trade and worked throughout the years for many reputable builders. He enjoyed his work and loved to make people laugh. John was an avid fisherman and shared that same passion with his boys. He was preceded in death by his father, John J. Sepesi Sr. Survived in life by his beloved sons Connor Sepesi and Garrett Sepesi, mother Margaret Sepesi, brother Michael Sepesi, sister-in-law Mendy McCloud Sepesi, and niece Hannah McCloud. In lieu of flowers, the boys have asked that friends and family honor their father by donating to one of the following charities. Connor chose the Young Life Campership Fund at www.knoxville.younglife.org or mail check to PO Box 647, Knoxville, TN 37901. Connor started following Jesus at Young Life camp and wants to offer others the same opportunity. Or please donate to Powell Church Youth Missions at: www.powellchurch.com or mail check to 323 W. Emory Road, Powell 37849. Garrett chose this charity because of the mission work that he has been involved with there for the past few summers and hopes that it will encourage others to go and help people who are less fortunate. Family and friends have established a fund for the boys at First TN bank. If you would like to donate to them directly, please make a check to Connor/Garrett Sepesi Custodial Acct. and mail to PO Box 443, Powell 37849.
