On April 9, 1933, John Henry and Zettie McCollough were blessed with a beautiful baby boy whom they named "John". John confessed Christ at an early age in Lineville, Alabama and was baptized in a creek. He attended the Greater Thankful Baptist Church where he served faithfully as a Deacon until he no longer had the ability to serve. Deacon McCollough took his wings to go and be with his Heavenly Father on March 24, 2022.
