John was born on August 28, 1941, in Warren, Ohio to Wilbur Biggin Sr. and Rowena (Bennewitz) Biggin.

John graduated from Cortland High School in Cortland, Ohio in 1959. He served in the Army National Guard for four years. On June 8, 2020, John was commended for his military service.

worked in the family business – Biggin’s Furniture & Appliance in Cortland.
John and Bev moved to Melbourne FL in 1985 where John continued to work in the furniture business.

John was a quiet man with a big heart and had a good sense of humor. He was a man of honor and integrity. His work ethics were impeccable. John’s greatest blessing was his family. He was a devoted husband and an amazing father, grandfather and great grandfather…and he had a genuine fondness for their family beagles: Punky, Tinker and Snickers.

John will be deeply missed by his wife, his son: John, Jr., of Jacksonville, FL; his two daughters: Lisa (Phil) Franklin of Melbourne, FL and Lori Carollo of Palm Bay, FL; his 2 granddaughters: Natasha and Alexa;
his great granddaughter: Astera and his two brothers:
Wilbur Biggin, Jr. (Brenda) and James Biggin (Becky).

John was preceded in death by his parents and
his son Brian Biggin.
