Obituary
John Anthony Stone, 49, left this
world for his home in heaven June 18, 2021. He was a
man to whom God had given the gift of mercy, who
cared deeply for others. He was known to have opened
his small home to the homeless and needy more than
once -- sometimes for extended periods of time. He
attended Evangelical Free Church of
Bloomington-Normal for many years and was
appreciated for his faithful service as head usher.
He was known among the family as "the one who could
fix anything!"
John graduated from the Heyworth High School in 1989
and over the years kept in touch with some of his
classmates. He was an avid model train fan. He had a
dedicated room for his model train layout, which he
built himself. He also enjoyed shooting off model
rockets with his family and friends. He was a big
Cubs fan, as well, and rose and fell as the Cubs won
or lost.

John was preceded in death by his
father, Theodore Dale Stone. He is survived by his
wife of nine months, Shelley Eames Stone, and her
parents Richard and Brenda Eames; his mother,
Marjorie Stone-Greenlee; two brothers: Timothy (Diann)
Stone and Michael (Janine) Stone; and two sisters:
Kelly Stone and Bonnie Stone. John was a favorite
among his nieces and nephews. His willingness to
help, gentleness and sense of humor drew people to
him. He is sincerely and greatly missed.
Visitation will be June 22, 2021, from 5:00 p.m.
