John B. Waters
Six Mile, SC

It is with heavy hearts but a spirit of celebration that we announce the passing of John Boyce Waters, who left us peacefully on March 25, 2025, at the age of 72. Born on January 2, 1953, in Greenville, South Carolina, John was a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend who embraced life with a passion for the great outdoors and a love for family.

John was a master plumber and proudly self-employed, demonstrating an unmatched dedication to his craft and a commitment to serving his community. But more than his professional accomplishments, John will be remembered for his warmth, sense of humor, and the cherished memories he created with those he loved.

A lover of nature, John found joy in camping and hiking, often taking his family on adventures into the wilderness. He had a special bond with his grandchildren, reveling in their laughter and the memories they created together. Music filled his life, and few could resist his rendition of “North to Alaska.” He was known equally for his thoughtful conversations over a good cup of coffee and his appreciation for a well-cooked meal.

John is survived by his beloved wife of 53 years, Brenda Lusk Waters; his favorite daughter, Annette Felty (Brad); his two sons, Toby Waters (Dawn) and Josh Waters (Lynn); his beloved grandchildren, Harrison, Sophia, Olivia, Francesca, Esmé, Shannon, Clay and Kennedy. He also leaves behind his sister Pat Bryan and brother Mike Waters. They will all forever hold him close in their hearts.

John was predeceased by his beloved mother, Frances Lesley York and a brother, Chuck Waters.

Join us in celebrating John’s vibrant life. A memorial service will be held at Roanoke Baptist Church on Friday, March 28, 2025, at 1:00 PM, where we will share stories and laughter, honoring the unforgettable spirit of this remarkable man. The family will host a visitation at Roanoke Baptist Church on Thursday, March 27, 2025, from 5:00 until 7:00 PM for all who wish to pay their respects.

Let us gather to remember John not with sorrow, but with joy and gratitude for the wonderful moments we shared.

The family will be gathering at the home of his son, Josh Waters.
