John Bumpus Obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of John Bumpus of Benton, Illinois, born in Carmi, Illinois, who passed away on September 18, 2021, at the age of 64, leaving to mourn family and friends. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his grandparents, Clarence, Irene Presley, Ernest Bumpus and Mattie Bumpus; his mother Kathleen; his brothers, Lyle and Stan (Mary); his nephews, Ryan, Jake (Jessica), Shawn, David (Kayla), Daniel and Steven; his great-nephew Jonathan; his father Lloyd; and his half-brother David Edward Bumpus. He was also cherished by his parents, including visiting his mother.

He was taken from this life by COVID. The family understands that there are many people who cared deeply for John and would like to pay their last respects, and for that we are very thankful; however, in an effort to prevent heartache and loss for other families due to COVID, the services will be private and limited to immediate family only.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to the First Freewill Baptist Church in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.
