Obituary

John Hargrove, affectionately known as Johnny, of Valrico, Florida, passed away peacefully on August 11, 2024, at the age of 86, after a courageous year-long battle with dementia and brain cancer. Johnny was born on July 9, 1938, in Williamson County, Tennessee, to Eve Lena Hargrove and John Wallace Hargrove. He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, his sisters Mary Lockwood, Wanda Jackman and Maybelle Reed, and his brother James Tidwell.

Johnny lived a life marked by simplicity, hard work, and a deep love for the outdoors. He was known for his dedication as a maintenance worker for Hillsborough County and his skillful work as a butcher. His passions extended beyond his career; he was an accomplished tournament bass fisherman, an avid hunter, and a devoted outdoorsman. His love for Tennessee was evident in his lifelong support for the Volunteers, and he often spoke of the pride he felt for his home state.
Johnny is survived by his faithful companion, Martha Lugo, who provided him with unwavering love, dedication, and care, particularly during his final years. His memory will be cherished by his daughter, Renee Stone; his son, Steve Hargrove; his grandson, Mitchell Yount; and his granddaughter, Nicole Yount.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Martha for her profound support and the tender care she offered Johnny throughout their years together. Her devotion was a source of comfort and strength.

A service to honor Johnny’s life will be held at Serenity Meadows Funeral Home, located at 6919 Providence Rd, Riverview, FL, on August 20, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., followed by burial. All who knew Johnny are invited to join in celebrating his life and legacy.
May Johnny rest in peace, surrounded by the tranquility of the great outdoors he loved so dearly.
