John H. Britt, Jr. (63) lovingly called “JR” was born on June 13th, 1959, in Robeson County and entered his heavenly home Sunday, August 7th, 2022, at Florence Hospital, South Carolina.
JR is proceeded in death by his Father, John Hilbert Britt, Mother Ada Walters Britt, Sister Fran Cooper, Brother Robert “Chubby” Britt, Sister Rachel Susie Britt, and First Wife Magalene Chavis-Britt.
JR leaves behind his devoted wife of 9 years, Joyce Britt and two children; Rocky Hedgpeth (Chasity) and Jason Hedgpeth (Kelly), as well as five additional children; Chris Warren (Becky), Billy Warren, Timmy Warren (Karen), Marcus Scott and Renea Chavis, Sister Linda Collins, Brother Jimmie Connor and many adored grandchildren, family, and friends.
JR attended Orrum High School in Orrum North Carolina and graduated in 1977.
Elizabeth Heights was JR’s church, and he was a committed member for over 30 years. During this time JR was the Sunday School Director, Treasure, Landscaper and took pride in serving and extending help anyway needed. He was a jack of all trades and enjoyed working outside in his flowers, painting, creating woodwork, being a carpenter and especially landscaping.
He loved visiting the mountains spending time with family, watching gun smoke, and sitting on the front porch watching the sunset with his wife every evening while enjoying a cup of coffee.
JR will be missed by everyone, but we find refuge and comfort knowing he has entered his heavenly home where there are no more tears, heartache, or suffering.
