Obituary
John Calvin Stinson Jr., 79, of N. Chesterfield, VA, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, June 25, 2022. He is remembered as a loving son, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. John was always there for his family and rarely missed a ballgame, dance recital or any other event in their lives. He was looking forward to celebrating his 80th birthday and 60 years of marriage in July. Most of his life he worked as a building contractor, but is also remembered as an avid fisherman, hunter and storyteller. With help from his boisterous voice and extroverted personality, he never met a stranger.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John C. Stinson, Sr. and Alma Stinson; sister, Sheila Morgan; and brother, Paul Stinson. He is survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Judith Stinson; sisters, Linda Puryear and Barbara Collie; two daughters, Teresa Rogers (Carson), Joanne Dudley (Jerry); grandchildren; Evan Rogers (Courtney), Brett Rogers (Lindsay), Mattie Fleischer (Collin), Ethan Dudley, and Emma Dudley; great-grandchildren, Benjamin, Grayson, Natalie, and Calvin Rogers.
The family will be receiving friends on Friday, July 1, 2022, at 11:00 am with a memorial service to follow at 12:00am at Morrissett Funeral and Cremation Service, 6500 Iron Bridge Rd. North Chesterfield, VA 23234. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made in his name to Brain Injury Association of VA at http://wwwbiav.net/get-involved/donate

To Big John’s family,
Words cannot express how sorry we are to hear the sad news about Big John.
He was so loved and appreciated by so many.
John was a fellow classmate of mine at Thomas Dale. He had a wonderful and contagious personally and never met a stranger!
He attended most of our Class Reunions and was a joy to be around.
We remained friends over the many years, and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him, especially me.
So thankful, John knew the Lord and is in Heaven having a wonderful time.
Sending lots of love, prayers and condolences to Judy, his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and siblings.
Rest in Peace dear friend. We love and will miss you!
Lucy Sale and Dr. Martin Horenstein
